We had Such a Lovely Time….

This is the journal that Dr. Roy Izlar and his wife Camille Izlar during their first year of marriage, 1916-1917. This is a fascinating, if brief, original source from a newly-wed southern couple in the early decades of the 20th Century. In the pages of this journal one can find ideas and social norms that evolved into what we know today as American culture and see the fading light of Edwardian Culture in the Southern United States. It sheds light on the era in which he country began to emerge as a leading world power behind the touching narrative of the personal lives of two people who were part of a generation that shaped America.
