<p>Recollections Grave and Gay (1911) or "Refugitta" are the personal experiences from Constance Cary Harrison's activities in Virginia during the years of the War Between the States. She commences by telling us of her impressive Virginia blood-lines, which connect with such American founders as Thomas Jefferson. She continues with her experiences near the front lines in Virginia, which include meeting with famous generals, nursing in the hospitals, and in general, cheering up the soldiers and boosting morale. When the war came to an end, Constance went to Europe with her mother. The narrative ends with a sketch of her travels in Europe, and her encounters with some of the notable and even notorious people of the day. She came back to the United States in 1867 to marry attorney Burton Harrison (former secretary to Jefferson Davis) and settle with him in New York City. There she became a socialite and pursued her writing. The book is written in the chatty style of another "Civil War" diarist, Mary Boykin Chestnut, of whom she several times mentions. The book has a bonus Appendix. It is called "The Capture of Jefferson Davis," and it was written by her husband, Burton Harrison, who was an eyewitness. This revealing account appeared in the November 1883 issue of "Century Magazine." A critical review of Mr. Harrison's reminiscence says: "It is of absorbing interest, told with evident frankness and truthfulness, and with a refreshing sense of humor giving the comedy along with the tragedy of the events. It is one of the most interesting and important contributions to history that the "Century" has published. In this book, the reader is getting two primary resource accounts of significant times in American history.</p>
