About Jane Evans Elliot

  • Jane Evans Elliot, born Jane Smith Evans (1820–1886), was a diarist during the American Civil War who lived on the Ellerslie Plantation outside of Fayetteville, North Carolina.
  • Her writings focus on "the many changes of girl hood, and maiden hood" before, during, and after the Civil War. Jane's diaries consist of three separate books that span the course of her lifetime: Book I (1837-1862), Book II (1863-1870), and Book III (1872-1882).
  • The diaries were first published in 1908 by the Edwards and Broughton Print Company.
