by John Spencer Bassett (Author), James Knox Polk (Other)

The Southern Plantation Overseer As Revealed In His Letters is a book written by John Spencer Bassett. It provides a unique and revealing insight into the life and work of plantation overseers in the American South during the 19th century. The book is based on a collection of letters written by plantation overseers to their employers, which were preserved in the archives of various plantations. Through these letters, Bassett explores the daily routines, challenges, and experiences of these overseers, who were responsible for managing the labor and production on the plantations. He analyzes their relationships with the enslaved people they supervised, their interactions with plantation owners, and their views on issues such as slavery, politics, and religion. The book also sheds light on the personal lives of these overseers, including their family relationships, health concerns, and financial struggles. Bassett's analysis of these letters provides a nuanced and complex understanding of the role of plantation overseers in the antebellum South, and their impact on the lives of enslaved people and the broader society. Overall, The Southern Plantation Overseer As Revealed In His Letters is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American South, slavery, and the complex dynamics of power and control on antebellum plantations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
