This delightful hardbound children's book was originally published in 1867, a scant two years after the end of the War for Southern Independence. This is the story of three young Southern girls trying to understand why Santa Claus didn't visit the little Southern children during the four Christmases of the War. With the help of their auntie, they ponder this question one afternoon and finally write a letter to General Robert E. Lee, knowing he would be able to answer their question. They decide to put his answer, along with their dreams and other stories, into a book and give it to Santa Claus, so he could sell it for the benefit of the little Confederate children who had lost everything by the War.

Marse Bradford Harrison, of St. Michaels, MD, gave 4 year old Eliza Ann Benson to his new born daughter, Braddie, in 1841. Eliza would be a slave to her infant owner in Harrison’s way of thinking. But a friendship began & a promise was made. Eliza stayed with Braddie through Braddie’s married life, which included the War Between the States & its aftermath; and when Braddie & her husband died leaving a family full of children & no one to rear them, there was one more promise that Eliza wanted to keep. Eliza’s down-home philosophy, loyalty, fortitude and love positively impacted Miss Braddie & 3 generations thereafter.
