   A Charleston Girl in the Last Decade of the 19th Century

   In this month’s episode, we are putting ourselves in the shoes of a schoolgirl in Charleston during the last decade of the 19th century, thanks to a first-hand account of the childhood of Frances Jervey that is held in our archives. The composition book was part of an assignment from her school, Misses Gibbes’s School. It includes topical essays that were assigned to her as well as accounts of her Christmas holidays, trips to the mountains during the summer, and festivals in Charleston.
