Lee and Mary Anna Randolph Custis Lee. Agnes began the journal in December 1852, when she was twelve, and continued it intermittently for about five years. Edited by Mary Custis Lee deButts, the volume presents a young person record of family life, schooling, visiting, religion, illness, travel, and social expectation within an elite antebellum Virginia household. Its purpose is not to provide a comprehensive political history of the decade before the Civil War, but to preserve a personal record that reveals how a girl in the Custis Lee family understood her daily world. The book is especially valuable because it combines youthful immediacy with later family recollections and contextual material on Arlington House, allowing readers to see both the private texture of Agnes Lee experience and the historical setting surrounding it.
