Mrs. Chesnut moved in elite circles of Southern society and had a keen interest in politics.  Her diary is both an important historic document and, due to her sharp wit and often irreverent attitude, a fascinating window into Southern society of the time.  This recording is of the first published edition of the diary, compiled from Mrs. Chesnut's revisions of her original journals.","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/18509579/Diary-from-Dixie_300x300.jpg","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
