"Bobbie", a Story of the Confederacy
About This Book
The narrative follows a cheerful young heir raised on a Southern plantation, tracing his boyhood devotion to household retainers and the everyday rhythms of estate life—horseflesh, seasonal gatherings, and entrenched domestic roles. It moves from childhood intimacy and festive homecomings to the disruptions of wartime, showing how conflict alters loyalties, obligations, and communal routines. Through close portrayals of family, caregivers, and servants, the work explores loyalty, social ties across hierarchical lines, and the slow unravelling of familiar comforts when larger historical forces intrude.
