Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Original Letters of Mozis Addums to Billy Ivvins, Vol. 1 In 1857, I went to Washington to take the place of my friend Wm. M. Semple, as correspondent of the New Orleans Crescent. Two letters a week to the Crescent, and three to the Eagle and Enquirer, a Memphis paper, left me plenty of leisure for other writing. I had never attempted anything in what is called "Dialect," but, having a natural turn for bad spelling, thought I would try my hand. Accordingly, I sent the first letter of Mozis Addums to Billy Ivvins to John R. Thompson, who was then editing the Southern Literary Messenger. He printed it, not without misgivings, and its success amazed both of us, for it was copied all over Virginia, and in many papers outside the State. I literally "woke up and found myself famous," much to my annoyance, for I was then ambitious to succeed in quite other and more elevated fields of literature. But the public would have its way. From that day to this I have gone by the name of "Mozis," and I am sure that, directly and indirectly, these letters have paid me better than all my other writings put together.
