From dust jacket: Through the publication of The Children of Pride,.many thousands of readers made a new and cherished set of friends: the Joneses, a remarkable nineteenth-century family of Southern gentlefolk whose letters to one another amounted to an intimate saga of the Civil War. A Georgian at Princeton brings the Joneses back, in a never-before-published collection of their correspondence from 1850 to 1852. The Rev. C. C. Jones is living with his family in South Carolina when their house is completely destroyed by fire. Providentially -- or so the Joneses believe -- Dr. Jones is offered a position with the Board of Domestic Missions in Philadelphia. He decides to accept the job, moves, and sends his two sons to Princeton to finish their studies. What follows is both a moving personal story and a chronicle, of a vividness no fiction can ever quite achieve, of mid-nineteenty-century life in America. The Joneses are eloquent, affectionate, and eager to keep one another informed of everything happening in their swiftly changing world. Through their eyes we experience the surge of the technological revolution; the tragic and widening rift between North and South -- a matter of biological rhythms as much as ideology; the growing pains of the cities, the evanescent beauty of plantation life; and the unlikely juxtaposition of Christian scholarship and ribald escapades that marked the Princeton community at the time.
