PREFACE

The period, the place, the circumstances of this
diary are replete with the romance of the great
war that made for the Confederate States of
America the glorious name in history which is
the rich inheritance of our people today. But it
is not merely a graphic recital of thrilling events.

Ardently patriotic, she claimed two States for
her allegiance, Maryland and Louisiana, and this
volume should appeal especially, therefore, to the
Confederates of these two Commonwealths. Now humorous, now pathetic, as
she tells of the trials and mortifications to which

always a certain elevation of thought, a dignity
of soul, displaying in the stress and strain of her
environment, noble traits of patience, forbear-

story of New Orleans, the proud, the beautiful
city, in her thraldom under Butler and Banks, is
here interwoven with a family chronicle.

This is cearly, however, a function of the subject, not the author. A tinge is likewise evoked during a visit to an old artist friend with late-stage Alzheimer's who has, nevertheless, recapitulated a radiant painting he had done twenty years earlier, "this was only an echo, something left stranded on the beach after the sea had retreated." Famed as Mortimer is for his Rumpole of the Bailey series, he acknowl
