Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net  a"Life Gleanings" by T. J. Macon is a personal memoir written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's life experiences, particularly focusing on his childhood in Virginia during a time of significant historical change, including the impending Civil War. Macon's narrative is enriched with anecdotes and reflections on social customs, family life, and the political atmosphere, providing a lens into the life of a Southern plantation family.  The opening of "Life Gleanings" sets the stage for the author's recollections, beginning with his birth at "Fairfield," the family homestead by the Chicahominy River in Hanover County, Virginia. As the youngest of ten children, Macon reflects fondly on his childhood, detailing the warmth of family life, the hospitality of neighbors, and the role of slavery in their lives, illustrating the gentle society before the turmoil of the Civil War. He touches upon personal memories of education, the daily life in a rural Virginia community, and the gradual changes leading up to significant historical events that would profoundly affect him and his family.
