Signed and Inscribed by the Author. Octavo, brown cloth (hardcover), burgundy label, gilt letters, 365 pp. Fine in a Very Good, mylar protected dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: Through the publication of The Children of Pride.many thousands of readers made a new and cherished set of friends: the Joneses, a remarkable nineteenth-century family of Southern gentlefolk whose letters to one another amounted to an intimate saga of the Civil War. A Georgian at Princeton brings the Joneses back, in a never-before-published collection of their correspondence from 1850 to 1852. The Rev. C. C. Jones is living with his family in South Carolina when their house is completely destroyed by fire. Providentially -- or so the Joneses believe -- Dr. Jones is offered a position with the Board of Domestic Missions in Philadelphia. He decides to accept the job, moves, and sends his two sons to Princeton to finish their studies. What follows is both a moving personal story and a chronicle, of a vividness no fiction can ever quite achieve, of mid-nineteenty-century life in America. The Joneses are eloquent, affectionate, and eager to keep one another informed of everything happening in their swiftly changing world. Through their eyes we experience the surge of the technological revolution; the tragic and widening rift between North and South -- a matter of biological rhythms as much as ideology; the growing pains of the cities, the evanescent beauty of plantation life; and the unlikely juxtaposition of Christian scholarship and ribald escapades that marked the Princeton community at the time.

Index, a few pages wrinkled, some wear to board edges. Inscribed by the Editor. Charles Colcock Jones Sr. (December 20, 1804 - March 16, 1863) was a Presbyterian clergyman, educator, missionary, and planter of Liberty County, Georgia. In 1972, literary critic Robert Manson Myers published a huge collection of Jones family letters in The Children of Pride. The New York Times, again in a front-page article, cited The Children of Pride as "one of the five significant books of 1972" and as one of the important, lasting books of the 20th century. The Children of Pride won the coveted Carey-Thomas award in 1972. The book won a National Book Award (1973). MYERS, Robert Manson, Ph.D. was a distinguished professor of English literature and an acclaimed author. Myers went to Harvard for a master's degree in English literature and, the following year, for another one at Columbia University en route to a doctorate, which Columbia conferred on him in 1945. He then began his teaching career, first at Yale, then The College of William and Mary, then Tulane and finally at the University of Maryland at College Park, from which he retired in 1986. In 1972, he completed a 20-year project with the publication of "The Children of Pride, A True Story of Georgia and the Civil War," as told in his selection and editing of some 1,200 letters of a cultivated Georgia plantation family during the years 1854 to 1868. The New York Times gave it an unprecedented front-page glowing review by Madison Jones, who wrote that the book tells the story of the Old South and its destruction "as it has not been told before, in the fullness of its poignance and tragedy.".…
