As the wife of a frequently absent slaveholder and public figure, Anna Matilda Page King (1798-1859) was the de facto head of their Sea Island plantation. This volume collects more than 150 letters to her husband, children, parents, and others. Conveying the substance of everyday life as they chronicle King's ongoing struggles to put food on the table, nurse her "family black and white," and keep faith with a disappointing husband, the letters offer an absorbing firsthand account of antebellum coastal Georgia life.Anna Matilda Page was reared with the expectation that she would marry a planter, have children, and tend to her family's domestic affairs. Untypically, she was also schooled by her father in all aspects of plantation management, from seed cultivation to building construction. That grounding would serve her well. By 1842 her husband's properties were seized, owing to debts amassed from crop failures, economic downturns, and extensive investments in land, enslaved workers, and the development of the nearby port town of Brunswick. Anna and her family were sustained, however, by Retreat, the St. Simons Island property left to her in trust by her father. With the labor of fifty bondpeople and "their increase" she was to strive, with little aid from her husband, to keep the plantation solvent.A valuable record of King's many roles, from accountant to mother, from doctor to horticulturist, the letters also reveal much about her relationship with, and attitudes toward, her enslaved workers. Historians have yet to fully understand the lives of plantation mistresses left on their own by husbands pursuing political and other professional careers. Anna Matilda Page King's letters give us insight into one such woman who reluctantly entered, but nonetheless excelled in, the male domains of business and agriculture.

This is about a bright, young and intelligent young lady, who had the whole world in her hands. Anna had a plan for when she graduated from high school. She would be attending a college far away, the sooner the better. Anna was determined. In fact she was very independent. She had a great head on her shoulders and was always helping others. Anna always thought of herself last. She wanted to become a school counselor. This was her calling.This is a story that Anna, herself, would have wanted to tell. This is a story that will take away the mind of the innocent and hopefully make others aware of all the sins that people have experienced - a story that might be better off not telling. But I feel that it should be told, not all of the embarrassing moments that a young mother might have chosen to deal with while taking care of her own affairs, not thinking everything out but just letting someone else take advantage of her body, her mind and her spirit in a family that has already lost so much. But, if no one has a voice then no one will be able to speak out about these issues. No one will know of some of the dangers that are out there when dealing with any child, even if that child is a young adult or an older child wrapped in a world of drugs, alcohol, sex, friends, and gangs all rolled up into one, as well as an unplanned pregnancy, we cannot forget the greed for money.
