- Summary
- Compilation of printed texts from libraries at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill documenting the culture of the nineteenth-century American South from the viewpoint of Southerners. Includes the diaries, autobiographies, memoirs, travel accounts, and ex-slave narratives not only of prominent individuals but also relatively inaccessible populations such as women, African Americans, enlisted men, laborers, and Native Americans.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill supplemented these titles with additional first-person narratives, many published before 1860.
