Mary's
World: Love, War, and Family Ties in Nineteenth-century Charleston
by Richard N. Cote
Book Description:
Born to affluence and opportunity in the South's Golden Age, Mary Motte
Alston Pringle (1803-1884) represented the epitome of Southern white womanhood.
Her husband was a wealthy rice planter who owned four plantations and 337
slaves. Her thirteen children included two Harvard scholars, seven world
travelers, a U.S. Navy war hero, six Confederate soldiers, one possible
Union collaborator, a Confederate firebrand trapped in the North, an expatriate
bon vivant in France, and two California pioneers. Mary's World illuminates
in lavish detail the world and psyche of this wealthy, well-educated, well-intentioned
woman and her family from the antebellum South.
During the Civil War, Mary and her husband, William, stood helpless
as two sons were killed, another was driven insane, their slaves were freed,
and the world as they knew it was swept away by a hurricane of social change.
In her own words, Mary tells us about the joys, sorrows, frustrations,
and terrors she and her family faced in nineteenth-century Charleston.
This intimate, visceral biography was drawn directly from over 2,500 pages
of Mary's handwritten letters, journals and diaries, none of which, she
could have imagined, would ever be read by strangers. Therein lies their
power.
Readers also learn about the vastly different lifestyles, food, clothing,
and experiences of their slaves. Mary's World also pays special attention
to Cretia Stewart, Mary's favorite servant, Cretia’s husband, Scipio, and
their free descendants, some of whom worked for Mary’s grandchildren well
into the twentieth century. How Mary, William, their children, and slaves
lived before the Civil War, clung desperately to life in the eye of the
maelstrom, and coped – or failed to cope -- with its bewildering aftermath
is the story of this book. The letters and images they left behind offer
priceless insights into the anguished roots of Southern social history.
