At the age of nineteen, Emily Wharton married Charles Sinkler and moved eight hundred miles from her Philadelphia home to a cotton plantation in an isolated area in the South Carolina Low Country. In monthly letters to her northern family, she recorded keen observations about her adopted home, and in a receipt book, she assembled a trusted collection of culinary and medicinal recipes reflecting her ties to both North and South. Together with an extensive biographical and historical introduction, these documents provide a record of plantation cooking, folk medicine, travel, and social life in the antebellum South.--Publisher's description.
