'Village Life in America' Summary
Caroline Cowles Richards Clarke, a young girl growing up in Canandaigua, New York, begins her diary in 1861. As the Civil War rages on, she chronicles her daily life, recording the events that unfold around her. Her entries offer a unique perspective on the war’s impact on a small town community. She writes about the anxieties of war, including the fear of loved ones being sent off to battle and the uncertainties surrounding the future. Her diary entries also reflect the daily struggles of life during wartime, including the challenges of finding food and supplies due to shortages, the social impacts of the conflict on the community, and the shifting dynamics of family life. Through Caroline’s eyes, readers experience the wartime anxieties, the resilience of the community, and the daily struggles of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events.Book Details
