About This Book

A young New Jersey–educated tutor spends a year on a Virginia plantation, recording daily life, household routines, social customs, music and books, and his reactions to slavery and gentry manners; letters to a distant beloved accompany his diary; observations examine agricultural practices, landholding patterns, and growing political tensions with Britain; entries combine vivid anecdote, moral reflection, and descriptions of the Carter family and their children to produce an intimate portrait of planter society on the eve of the American Revolution.
