About the author

Amanda Alcenia Strickland Washington

b. 1846

Best known for a slim 1907 memoir of Civil War-era Louisiana, this little-known writer preserved vivid family stories from the 1860s. Her recollections mix danger, plantation life, and the perspective of a Southern girl who lived through the upheaval of war.
