Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Journey in the Back Country, Vol. 1 of 2: In the Winter of 1853-4 The narrative presented in this volume, containing the record of certain journeys through the Slave States, is devoted in the main to the hill-country people and to those who are engaged in, or are most directly affected by, the great business of the South - the production of cotton. The record of facts, except as regards the domestic life of the people, is less elaborate than that undertaken in the Journey in the Seaboard Slave States, because, reference being made to previous observations, less detail is needed to give a full statement of that which was seen by the writer. Facts of general observations and conclusions of judgment form a larger part of this volume than of the preceding volume, because these are appropriately deduced from the details before given. The book was prepared for the press nearly in its present form, and was announced for publication in 1857. A chapter was then intended to be added upon the natural history of Southern politics, before preparing which I was interrupted by unanticipated duties. Upon recent examination, it was found that the facts recorded had not lost significance, and that the volume might be published without revision or addition.
