Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation

Anne Kemble, Frances: - "Frances Anne "Fanny" Kemble (November 27, 1809 - January 15, 1893) was a British actress from a theatre family who worked in the early and mid-nineteenth centuries. Kemble's "lasting historical significance stems from the private journal she kept during her time in the Sea Islands" on her husband's estates, where she penned a record detailing the conditions of the plantation's enslaved people and her increasing abolitionist feelings. Fanny was born in London and received her primary education in France."
