Summary:
Born on the eve of the Civil War, Charles W. Chesnutt grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a county seat of four or five thousand people, a once-bustling commercial center slipping into postwar decline. The Journals of Charles W. Chesnutt gives us, for the first time, full access to an unprecedented personal narrative, the first intimate self-portrait we have of an African American author in the making.
