Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Danvis Folks "Danvis Folks," with the exception of the first chapter, was originally published in "Forest and Stream." It was written with less purpose of telling any story than of recording the manners, customs, and speech in vogue fifty or sixty years ago in certain parts of New England. Manners have changed, many customs have become obsolete, and though the dialect is yet spoken by some in almost its original quaintness, abounding in odd similes and figures of speech, it is passing away; so that one may look forward to the time when a Yankee may not be known by his speech, unless perhaps he shall speak a little better English than some of his neighbors. In truth he uses no worse now, nor did he ever, though he is accused of it. Such as it was, some may be glad to remember, and chiefly for them these papers have been written.
