To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the smoke-houses, where the salt meats had dripped for years, the salt-soaked earth was taken up, boiled in a vessel, the salt extracted, and dried in the sun. Sweet potatoes were sliced thin, cut in little pieces, bro^vned in an oven, ground in a cof- fee mill, and a breakfast drink made from them. It looked like coffee, it was not injimous, so it was cheerfully taken in place of fragrant Mocha. Okra seed, parched corn meal, and parched peanuts were also used for A Labor of Love 45 making... a morning drink. " Confed- erate cake " was made by sifting corn meal through a sieve, and then through cloth. Rice was harvested, and husked in a wooden mortar, a work which required time and strength. All dress-goods became scarce — calico was $4 per yard and very hard to get. Jaunty dresses were made of coarse yellow domestic, piped with bright colors. No hats could be purchased, but stylish tur- bans were made of old straw covered with scraps of black silk or velvet, and were worn with pride, and called " Beauregard " hats.
