Ashkenazi (Editor), Clara
Solomon
Louisiana State Univ Pr;, 1995. Written by a 16-year-old Jewish girl in the
South's largest metropolis during the early years of the Civil War, the diary
(which Clara named Philomen) details the struggles of an urban population to
maintain daily life in the face of grim news from battlefields, the devaluation
of Confederate currency, food shortages, closing schools, and the loss of family
members. Clara's entries tell of early Southern Jewish religious and social
life, the cosmopolitan milieu of New Orleans, and the activities of the
Confederate army and Union occupation of the city. An afterword traces the fate
of Clara and her family after 1862. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
