Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Absalom Billingslea: And Other Georgia Folk The favor accorded to former publications by the author, and to these sketches as they separately appeared in the magazines, has led to this present collection. In essaying to illustrate some phases of old-time rural life in middle Georgia, the author has tried to show how superior was the character to what might have been expected from the dialect of the people. Before the time of railroads, when travelling farther than twenty or thirty miles from homes was rare, simplicity, as well as activity, must have been prevalent among country folk. In this region, very fertile and almost universally salubrious, perhaps there was as little of social distinctions among its inhabitants as among those of any other in the South. The men of culture and those of wealth, as a general thing, were neighbors of the uncultured, and those with moderate or small property around them, and all were friends with one another; not only trusting and trusted, but helpful, fond, often affectionate.
