O'Connor born near Austin, Texas in 1850. "My Beloved South" is a memoir of the South before the Civil War, a warm journey of remembrance of family, places, people and landscape through which the reader can wander from Virginia to New Orleans. Some of the chapters: "Christmas and Old Memories", "Hospitable Charleston", "In Savannah", "The Women of New Orleans", "A Present Day Plantation", "A Gentleman of Virginia" and more. One of two daughters of an attorney, George Washington Paschal, "Betty" grew up in comfort. She was raised by a slave woman who has two sons of her own (who were sold off by Paschal). The family moved from Texas when Betty was young, though she always identified as a Texan throughout her life. After the death of her mother, she was sent to a boarding school, Georgetown Convent, in Washington D.C. and then to a school in White Plains, New York and then again in Texas. After her father's third marriage the family returned to Washington so that Betty could "come out" as a debutante. She married briefly and had a son. President Grant helped find her a job in the War Office (where she met Walt Whitman). By the 1880s, she had moved to New York and worked Harper & Bros. publishers. After moving to Ireland around 1880, she married T.P. O'Connor. The couple went to London and started a newspaper. the "Star" and Betty met many famous authors of the period such as Oscar Wilde, George Bernard shaw, Arthur Conan Doyle, Bret Harte, and Henry James. She published six books during her lifetime. Elizabeth Paschal O'Connor died in London in 1831. "My Beloved South" was for decades an underappreciated work but since has been recognized as an important memoir of the South and has been reprinted.
