A Woman Rice Planter
By PATIENCE PENNINGTON. With an Introduction by Owen Wister and with nearly 100 illustrations by Alice R. Huger Smith.
Decorated cloth, 8vo, preparing
Here are detailed the actual experiences of a woman rice planter on her own account, as the manager of two large plantations in South Carolina. The book is all the more interesting and instructive because it is told in a charmingly simple manner, and without a trace of self-consciousness or self-assertion. Independently of the information it conveys it has attraction for every reader by reason of that manner and as a revelation of a feminine character in which are manifested tender susceptibility and womanly sympathy no less than rugged courage in assuming an arduous task and in overcoming heavy practical obstacles. The narrative of the planter's life with its many responsibilities, the risks, the vexations and the cares involved in her ventures, the sagacity, skill and indomitable persistency with which she pursued her way, make reading always interesting and frequently valuable for its insight into a remarkable Southern home.
