Questions for Discussion from Grace Cordial







Tombee: Portrait of a Cotton Planter

While you are reading our selection for February 19, Rosengarten’s Tombee, please consider these questions:


Would you choose Thomas B. Chaplin as a friend? Why or why not?

What is your evaluation of the extended introduction that Rosengarten provides before Chaplin’s edited diary?

What do you think of his scholarship and conclusions? How did you arrive at your decision?

See you at 5:30 on Thursday, February 19th!
