RE: Judah Benjamin - The Jewish Confederate
Thanks, Roger! The Gamble Plantation is a wonderful, fascinating place with a unique atmosphere! Absolutely worth a visit - I'd love to see it again.
One more interesting aside: There were only few (I can remember two) closets in the entire big house, which were a sign of wealth. Since Colonial American times, houses had often lacked closets because of a "closet tax" imposed by the British crown. (No taxes for Mary's trunks...) |
