Pencil erasure residue on front endpaper, boards somewhat worn and soiled.Tombee was an unlucky slave owner and cotton planter on St. Helena Island, South Caroli…na. His real name was Thomas B. Chaplin, and we know him because of his plantation journal, kept between 1845 and 1858. The fascination of this journal is enhanced by notes that Chaplin added periodically after 1865, bringing the lives of his characters up-to-date. Not unnaturally, he compared his poverty after the Civil War with antebellum opulence, lamenting the one, deploring the other.Theodore Rosengarten has made accessible the last years of an American aristocracy. Besides containing a history of the Carolina Sea Islands during the second golden age of cotton, the book is a study of the dull horror of plantation slavery. In this brilliant account of life in the antebellum South, Rosengarten brings readers a masterful piece of history told from two perspectives. Tombee is the biography of Thomas Chaplin, the unlucky slave master and proprietor of Tombee Plantation. The book also contains the personal journal Chaplin kept, providing a relentless study of the horror of plantation slavery.
