Historic Sketches of the South (Classic Reprint) by Emma Langdon Roche Pdf

Excerpt from Historic Sketches of the South The early settlers who have left their impress on American life and character were of the same country and traditions, but their manners and ideals had been developed by the Opposing forces which began to stir England during the Renais sance - a hundred and fifty years before the Refor mation - forces of which our own Civil War seems as direct a sequence as were the religio-political feuds of the 16th and 17th century England. In the New World the exponents of these contrasting forces were divided for the first century and a half by what afterwards became known as Mason's and Dixon's Line and by vast areas of uninhabited wilderness.

Half-Hours in Southern History (Classic Reprint) by Jno Lesslie Hall Pdf

Excerpt from Half-Hours in Southern History This is a book of sketches and might be entitled, A Sketch Book of Southern History. It aims to give in brief outline the salient features of Southern heroism and achievement, and to state rapidly the South's side of the long controversy between the sections. The author has tried to be fair, candid, and truthful. Extremists of either section will not like the volume. The fact that he is a Southerner, however, the author will attempt neither to palliate nor to deny; but he has aimed to write "with malice toward none, with charity for all." The facts stated in this volume have been gathered from a thousand sources; none have been manufactured. Of Southern civilization, the author speaks from experience, as he remembers vividly two generations that represented the Old South so-called. The work is a labor of love; its object, justice to all.

Historic Towns of the Southern States (Classic Reprint) by Lyman P. Powell Pdf

Excerpt from Historic Towns of the Southern States The triad of volumes dealing with the older American Historic Towns along or near the eastern coast is now complete. The three volumes, like the chapters of which they are composed, have their inevitable limitations. While neither in historical value nor in literary quality has it proved practicable to secure a uniformity of standard, editor and contributors have done the best they could, and they now feel assured that the series has proved its right to exist. It is quickening interest in our historic towns, bringing to light important facts, picturing for the patriotic reader who may not be free to make personal visits the places he would visit if he could, and making clear to him many things he would not be likely to learn in the towns themselves, however long a stay he might be free to make.

Rodman the Keeper by Constance Fenimore Woolson Pdf

Excerpt from Rodman the Keeper: Southern Sketches The sketches included in this volume were writ ten during a residence in the South, which has em braced the greater part of the past six years. As far as they go they record real impressions; but they can never give the inward charm of that beau tiful land which the writer has learned to love, and from which she now severs herself with true regret. Two of these sketches have appeared in the At lantic Monthly, four in Appletons'ljournal, and one each in Scribner's Monthly, The Galaxy.

Historical Sketches of Brookline, Mass (Classic Reprint) by Harriet F. Woods Pdf

Excerpt from Historical Sketches of Brookline, Mass The sketches of which this volume is composed, do not claim to be an exhaustive Town History, but are principally a series of articles written under the title of " Brookline as it was, *' and published in the " Brookline Transcript," during the years 1871-*2. They are chiefly descriptive of the oldest streets and houses, with biographical sketches of some interesting persons, and local anecdotes and events. These papers have lately been carefully revised and corrected by the author, who has added new matter, including a chapter on Brookline in the late war. She has been largely indebted for material, to the writings of Rev. Dr. Pierce (whose biography is contained in this work), to old family records and legal documents, and to verbal information from old inhabitants of the town. Deacon Thomas Griggs, Benjamin B. Davis, Esq., the late Dr. S. A. Shurtleff, George Craft, Esq., A. W. Goddard, Esq., the late Otis Withington, the Misses Heath, and many others, have contributed valuable information. The various publications of the New England Historic Genealogical Society have been frequently consulted, as also the genealogical works of Bond, Savage, and others.

Bond and Free by Grace Lintner Pdf

Excerpt from Bond and Free: A Tale of the South Upon relating incidents which occurred under the observation of the writer, the suggestion has been frequently made to her that they should be recorded in a book, and placed within the reach of those who are interested in studying the habits of the Southern people before the late war. This volume is presented to the public in compliance with that request, since slavery is now so far removed from us by time that it has become historical. The contingencies of "the peculiar institution" invaded the domestic circle, made children masters and mistresses from infancy, causing them to be reared rulers over their sable playmates, and impressed on their unfolding minds ideas of superiority in. birth, which, as they advanced to manhood or womanhood, qualified them to exercise authority to a degree inconceivable by those raised with different surroundings. That miscegenation was of frequent occurrence is not to be denied; but mulatto children, being held by their darker mothers, were identified with the maternal race; yet there were instances where amalgamation was extended to successive generations, and State laws were enacted liberating those who possessed a certain degree of consanguinity with the Caucasian race. In the slave markets, among which that of New Orleans was pre-eminent, quadroon girls, possessing superior personal attractions, commanded a high price; and in exceptional instances, where they were received into families, and enjoyed advantages of mental and moral education, they became women of intelligence and sterling worth.
