Book containing loose papers, 1776-1872, ca. 1872.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/747099525

Portion (pages 16-28) of a typewritten transcription of a memoir by Charles I. Manigault. He gives his observations about slaves, free persons of color, and the freedmen; describes the treatment of his slaves at Silk Hope Plantation and elsewhere before the Civil War; and writes of the looting and vandalism in Charleston, the Cooper River region, and elsewhere, by Federal soldiers and blacks during and after the war. Much of the narrative deals with his farm, Marshlands, located six miles from Charleston on the Cooper River, his attempts to recover stolen property, and the conduct of the freedmen. He criticizes the Federal officers, whose "principal characteristic...was that of theft," and in particular General Sickles "sent to lord it over South Carolina." He also mentions his cousin General Edward Manigault, his son Gabriel Manigault, his cousin Heyward Manigault (of Adams Run, S.C.), and the fate of some Manigault family portraits.
