Excerpt from A Southern Girl in '61: The War-Time Memories of a Confederate Senator's Daughter In the autumn my father was elected to the State Senate and we made preparations for our journey to Austin. There were no railroads across the State in those days, and the hundreds Of miles had to be traversed by private convey ance, or by stage coach. We decided to make the expedition in our Old fashioned family carriage, drawn by a pair Of stout horses and driven by our negro coachman, Henry. My brother came with us on horseback. We made the journey in easy stages - our luggage, Of course, being sent on by coach. We would drive about thirty miles a day - never more; stopping in the middle of the day for an hour or so, when the horses would be thoroughly rested and fed, and we would have our luncheon.

Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady is Florence King's classic memoir of her upbringing in an eccentric Southern family, told with all the uproarious wit and gusto that has made her one of the most admired writers in the country. Florence may have been a disappointment to her Granny, whose dream of rearing a Perfect Southern Lady would never be quite fulfilled. But after all, as Florence reminds us, "no matter which sex I went to bed with, I never smoked on the street."
