Description
Winner of the Book Prize from the Maryland Historical Association
"A richer reflection of life in early 19th-century Maryland and the Washington environs cannot be found . . . These superb letters are enhanced by able editing, both in footnotes and excellent essays at the beginning and end." --Washington Post Book World
"Callcott is a suberb editor; she has exhaustively researched every aspect of Calvert's life, and her introductory and concluding essays, including an account of George Calvert's relationship with a slave woman, which produced five children, contain much information of interest." --Elizabeth R. Baer, Belles Lettres
"These letters document the timeless elements of domestic life--family relationships, childbirth, illness, househld chores--but they offer far more than the familiar fare of the plantation mistress."--Patricia Brady, The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography
