Volume 1 - Sarah Fowler Morgan: A Confederate Girl’s Diary 
Volume 2 - James Morris Morgan: Recollections of a Rebel Reefer 

Born into Baton Rouge society, Sarah Fowler Morgan grew up with all the privileges that wealth and southern social class could afford.  That idyllic life, however, was soon shattered by the Civil War. 

Between March 1862 and April 1865, Miss. Morgan kept a diary of her experiences.

Blanketing it all was a pervasive climate of fear—the personal fears of day to day living, and the long-term fears of what would happen to their beloved Confederacy. 

In the span of just three years, Sarah Morgan lost her father, three brothers, her home and her country.  She records it all in:
