Pryor, Sara Agnes Rice 1830-1912 creator text utu 2018 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "My Day: Reminiscences of a Long Life" by Sara Agnes Rice Pryor is a collection of personal reminiscences written in the early 20th century. The narrative provides a reflective glimpse into the author's life experiences, the social fabric of the late 19th century, and her observations of key historical moments, especially relating to women's roles during the Civil War. At the start of the memoir, the author shares her intention not to strictly write an autobiography but rather a collection of memories that reflect the everyday life of her youth and the significant events she witnessed. She mentions the trials faced during the Civil War, suggesting that her account will weave personal anecdotes with broader historical themes. The opening chapters introduce her childhood experiences, from family dynamics and social interactions to vivid memories of her surroundings and early education, laying a rich foundation for understanding her perspective on a rapidly changing America.
