- Summary
- "This collection of documents on slavery is like no other: it portrays plantation slavery from the point of view of the masters. They are in this case those slaveholders who wrote on the ideal in slave management for the southern agricultural press during the four decades preceding the Civil War. Slave management studies were a prominent and frequent feature of the South's farm journals. An extensive sampling of these studies is included here to make readily accessible an important source for the study of slavery."--Preface.
