This deals with the late antebellum period, and central Virginia was one of the three areas she focused on.  It's an excellent book.

Subject: 1845-1859 life of house slave young child



Looking for sources to consult on living conditions that were or might have been experienced by a female slave, whose mother was mulatto and father was the master, under the age of ten, in central Virginia 1845-1859.



Differences between rural and urban?



Differences between household and field slaves?
