At the age of nineteen Emily Wharton married Charles Sinkler and moved eight hundred miles from her Philadelphia home to a cotton plantation in an isolated area in the South Carolina Lowcountry. In a receipt book she assembled a collection of culinary and medicinal recipes reflecting her ties to both North and South. These documents provide a flavourful record of plantation cooking, folk medicine, travel, and social life in the antebellum South.
