THE MEMOIRS OF DOLLY MORTON has been out of print for over 50 years, and it is brought to you once again in all its unexpurgated violence and pathos. DOLLY MORTON is the story of an innocent young girl who believes strongly in the right of every human being to be free. Since she lives in pre-Civil War America, it is only natural that she should become involved in the Abolitionist Movement â€" even going so far as to move into the South and help set up a station in the Underground Railway â€" helping slaves inch their way to the North and freedom.  But she is apprehended by an aristocratic young scoundrel. Instead of turning her over to the authorities, he forces her to become his mistress and to become a part of the plantation system which she abhors. This is her story told with candor and delightful innocence. Dolly Morton brings us a first hand account of life on a slave-owner's plantation, the whippings and sexual abuses which occurred daily, the corruption of the masters, the passive submission of the slaves.  Dolly was still on the plantation during the tragic years of the Civil War, and she depicts the confidence of the Southerners through the early years, and the final disillusionment â€" leading to a breakdown of the governmental structure. Dolly was trapped in the middle of the looting and rapine which followed.
