This volume, told through excerpts from the diary of Mary Ames, relates the experiences of two Northern white women, Mary Ames and Emily Bliss, who were employed by the Freedman's Bureau to open a school for the benefit of former slaves. It tells of their journey to Edisto Island, South Carolina, where liberated slaves had been settled after Reconstruction, and of the ruinous living conditions suffered by freedmen and teachers alike. The women managed to establish a school with well over one hundred students, both children and adults. The diary tells of Miss Ames's dealings with former slaves, documents their social and religious life, and reports on the daily difficulties of life in the Reconstruction South. The school was closed by the Freedman's Bureau after a little more than a year.
Far from the typical view of Reconstruction in the American South, many well-meaning Yankees went to Dixie after the war to offer help. Mary Ames was one of them.The guns had barely silenced when in May of 1865, wealthy young Northerners, Mary Ames and Emily Bliss, volunteered with the Freedman's Bureau to teach newly emancipated blacks. This diary is the story of that journey. They had quite an adventure, living in abandoned plantation mansions and meeting the leaders of the Freedmen's Bureau, including General O.O. Howard.
Excerpt from From a New England Woman's Diary in Dixie in 1865 Some of Miss Ames's friends, who have enjoyed listening to the stories of her southern school life, have frequently begged her to print them. This opportunity of helping to educate a pupil in that wonderful school, which is so great a contrast to the scene of her early efforts, has decided her to allow the diary to be prepared for publication.
