A Woman's Wartime Journal An account of the passage over a Georgia plantation of Sherman's army on the march to the sea, as recorded in the diary of Dolly Sumner Lunt

A Woman's Wartime Journal by Dolly Sumner Lunt offers a vivid, first‑hand diary of life on a Georgia plantation as Sherman's army swept through during the Civil War. Dolly Sumner Lunt's intimate entries capture the sights, sounds, and human tensions of a rural Southern household confronted by marching soldiers, smoke-filled skies, and the collapse of an old way of life. Part memoir, part eyewitness history, this nonfiction plantation diary balances daily domestic detail—family routines, neighbors, and the seasonal beauty of Georgia—with the larger forces of war: troop movements, property loss, and the fraught interactions between enslaved people, owners, and Union soldiers. Lunt's clear, observant voice preserves local color and moral complexity without romanticizing or sensationalizing events, making the journal a valuable primary source for understanding civilian experience during Sherman's March to the Sea. Ideal for Civil War enthusiasts, students of American history, and listeners seeking women's perspectives on wartime life, this audiobook delivers an immersive, humane portrait of the Confederate home front. Listen to gain a ground‑level view of a pivotal moment in American history through the honest, unfiltered pages of a woman who lived it.
