Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Michael Forth I was born at Restwell, two miles from the small town of Whitechurch, in the county of - in Virginia. The night of my birth, by going to the top of Lone Tree Hill behind Restwell, one might see the smoke and flare of a dying battle and hear in diminuendo the guns of North and South. I know this because Daddy Guinea went up there and heard and saw and told me about it when I was six years old and sitting with him in his cabin over the fire. "´Fo´ de Lawd, dat´s so!" said Daddy Guinea. "De tree shivered an´ Guinea shivered. De sky low down wuz on fire lak you burnin´ breshwood, an´ de guns holler hoarser ´n bullfrogs! Dey soun´ jes´ lak de folks in hell buttin´ dey haids togedder. ´N´ yo´ father was dere an´ yo´ grandfather an´ yo´ uncle Gilchrist an´ mo´ ob yo´ cousins dan you could shake er stick at! An´ er passel ob other folk. An´ de folk on de other side - de Yanks. An´ de light flicker lak breshwood burnin´, an´ de guns holler lak bullfrogs in hell, whar dere ain´t no water! An´ de tree shiver an´ Guinea shiver." "Did I shiver, Daddy Guinea?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
