Far from the typical view of Reconstruction in the American South, many well-meaning Yankees went to Dixie after the war to offer help. Mary Ames was one of them.
The guns had barely silenced when in May of 1865, wealthy young Northerners, Mary Ames and Emily Bliss, volunteered with the Freedman's Bureau to teach newly emancipated blacks. This diary is the story of that journey. They had quite an adventure, living in abandoned plantation mansions and meeting the leaders of the Freedmen's Bureau, including General O.O. Howard.
First published in 1906, this book is available for the first time as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
