Disunion, war, defeat, and recovery in Alabama : the journal of Augustus Benners, 1850-1885
""Disunion, War, Defeat, and Recovery in Alabama offers a rare look into the life of a Civil War character many would say they love to hate: the plantation owner. A slave-owning cotton grower, Augustus Benners recorded decades of his mostly gritty and unglamorous plantation life ... Deft editing, annotation, and explanatory notes by Glenn and Virginia Linden complement and elucidate Benners's historical accounts"--From publisher's description
