Marty Daniels talked about Mary Chesnut’s Illustrated Diary, her reconstruction of the intended presentation of Mary Chesnut’s A Diary from Dixie, in which Ms. Chesnut provided a first-person view of the Civil War from the perspective of Southern society. Her diary provided insight into Confederate political and military maneuvering, and revealed the impact on morale in the South as residents received news of both victories and defeats.
