"This journal/letters by the famous actress of the 19th century, Fanny Kemble, is notable for the detailed descriptions of the slaves and their conditions on the Georgia sea island plantations owned by her husband Pierce Butler. Fanny was appalled by the conditions under which slaves lived and by slavery itself. She separated from Butler within a few years and this book gives the reader a good idea why"
