Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dixie: Or Southern Scenes and Sketches The chapters which make up this volume first appeared in harper's magazine and harper's weekly as a series of papers upon the development of what may well be called Our New South and its resources. The descriptions of scenery and present conditions are my own, but the state ments which are of the most value and importance to a student of the material resources of the country are such as were made to me, and then verified by others - by the most shrewd and skilled, and at the same time disinterested, residents of the localities to which they apply. It would have required years of residence and special training for me to gather such information from my own experience. Perhaps the chapter upon St. Louis will not seem to be as wholly in place here as in the companion to this volume, called Our Great ivest. Truly, St. Louis belongs somewhere between the two sections, or more properly in both, for it is a Western city with a Southern and Southwestern trade. It is treated here because it is impossible to correctly con sider the Southern States without a knowledge of its forces and influence, and because these studies, and the main jour ney for making them, were properly begun at that city the gate of the Old way to the region bordering upon the Mississippi.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scraps of Song and Southern Scenes In placing before the public this little volume, I feel that I am appealing to an audience whose sympathies are already mine. Yet, if the full measure of my anticipations be not wholly realized, I shall still feel that the world has been so kind and generous to me, that I can well afford to submit uncomplainingly to a light reproof now and then. Should these little emanations of my intellect meet with favor in the eyes of those for whose pleasure they are written, and should they touch a responsive chord in the hearts of those among whom my life has been passed, and to whom every sympathy of my soul goes out in fond endearment; then shall I feel that I have not written in vain of the melody and memory of my old plantation home.

Book Synopsis Mississippi Scenes by : Joseph B. Cobb
Download or read book Mississippi Scenes written by Joseph B. Cobb and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mississippi Scenes: Or Sketches of Southern and Western Life and Adventure, Humorous, Satirical, and Descriptive, Including the Legend of Black Creek A very few words will suffice to preface the following sketches, which are mostly drawn from real scenes and characters, and may, therefore, be regarded by the reader as faithfully original. The models and incidents are alone borrowed and embellished. Hundreds now living will doubtless recognize and identify every character, and thousands are familiar with the scenery and many of the incidents. These facts serve to alleviate, partially, the distrust with which I offer them to the public; though, if I shall have failed to paint sufficiently life-like, my mortification will be, in consequence, much the more intense. The Mississippi reader, however, will took in vain for the originals of all the characters and scenes in our own State or midst; and many friends in Georgia, where the author's early life and youth were passed, will, no doubt, be surprised to find much in the following pages which belongs more properly to pleasant reminiscences of the treasured past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes in the South: And Other Miscellaneous Pieces Immediately after the decease of my husband, Col. James R. Creecy, I anticipated having published a work of magnitude and value, written by him at the express desire of several members and senators, portraying the manners, customs, habits, and plantation life in the south. The MSS., to my great disappointment, and still greater pecuniary loss, was mislaid in the publishers' hands in New York, the more to be regretted from its having been written expressly for the press, and much time and talent expended on it. The present work I have now compiled, is composed of fugitive pieces, loose MSS. found in a port-folio, and consisting of matter which will be well-calculated to amuse some, instruct others, and sincerely do I hope interest all who have been so kind as to give their influence in the publication of Scenes in the South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charcoal Sketches Still, however, this is a world of violent contrasts, and of painful incongruities. Some of us may laugh; but while we laugh, let us be assured of it that there are others who are weeping. It is pleasant all about you here, within your brief horizon, but the distance may be short to scenes most sadly different. Smiles are on your brow, as you jostle through the street, yet your elbow touches him whose heart is torn with grief. Is there a merry-making in your family - are friends in congregation there with mirth, and dance, and song? How strange to think that it is scarce a step to the couch of suffering or the chamber of despair. The air is tremulous, perchance, with sighs and groans; and though our joyous strains overwhelm all sorrow's breathings, yet the sorrow still exists even when we hear it not.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ante Bellum: Southern Life as It Was A ssnsaous enemy will forgive us for taking a retrospective view of scenes that in a few years will fade from our memories; and although they may consider these home pictures too highly colored by a prejudiced hand, you, my friends, will recognize the accuracy of the drawing, and cast with me one last, fond, lingering look on our Southern homes as they existed before the red hand of war made them desolate. If the sentiments expressed in these pages should give offense to any, it must be remem bered that they only indicate in a slight degree that feeling which helped to bring about the long and bloody war; and as it was my desire to adhere strictly to facts, I have been compelled to slightly introduce a trite subject. With the hope that these truthful sketches of Southern life may divert for a brief season your thoughts from the dull monotony of the present gloomy state of our country, as they have mine, I cast forth upon the uncertain billows this frail bark freighted with delightful memories of the happy past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches and Studies in Southern Europe, Vol. 1 of 2 Esa seemed suspended in a chaos between sea and sky. Some times the fog broke and showed us Villafranca, lying green and flat in the deep blue below; sometimes a distant View of higher peaks swam into sight from the shifting cloud. But the whole scene was desolate. Was it for this that we had left our English home, and travelled from London day and night? At length we reached the edge of the cloud, and jingled down by Roccabrnna and the olive-groves, till one by one Mentone's villas came in sight, and at last we found ourselves at the inn door. That night, and all nerd day and the next night, we heard the hoarse sea beat and thunder on the beach. The rain and wind kept driving from the south, but we consoled ourselves with thinking that the orange trea and every kind of flower were drinking in the moisture and waiting to rejoice in sunlight which would come.

To say nothing of the honor of preparing a dinner for the President's daughter, it was very natural for Maud to evince some impatience to have it served precisely at the appointed time. Her son Dick, the coachman and gardener, had been despatched to the Capitol at the usual hour - and now it was full twenty minutes past the ordinary time of serving the first course! The bad boy! She exclaimed, vainly peering through the iron railing, and evidently disposed to vent her wrath on her innocent son. He's got a watch, she continued.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of South Charleston, Ohio: Reminiscences of Early Scenes, Anecdotes and Facts About Early Residents During the winter of 1813, my grandfather, Jacob Reeder, came from the East through the wilds of the then new State of Ohio, prospecting for a place to locate for a home for himself and family. In some way he struck a blazed road through the woods a few miles East of where our town of South Charleston now is. This road was just north of the creek in the North End of town and the only road of any kind in this part of the country. He followed it until he came to a large sulphur spring in the field now owned by Thomas Mattinson and only a few rods northeast of our present Detroit, Toledo 81 Ironton Railroad bridge. There he found an abundance of pure water for his family and his livestock. He then came back on the south side of the creek where the ground was higher and built a log cabin, opposite the John M. Murray mound, just west of town where several of the old pioneers were buried in later years. He built the first log cabin in this part of the country and he was the first white man to settle here after the Indians left. He came back from the East over this blazed road very early in the spring of 1814 with his wife and four children in a wagon and when he got opposite his new log cabin he found he could not cross the creek. For it was frozen over and the ice not thick enough to bear his team of oxen or horses and the wagon. It was very cold for his family to stay in the wagon and he must get across. So he got there as an olcl pioneer always could. He got a pole and broke the ice in large blocks back of where he wanted to cross and shoved it under the solid ice in the driveway; the water not being very deep he forced the blocks of ice down on the gravel in the bottom of the creek and drove over to his cabin on a solid ice bridge. That is the way the first white man got to locate in South Charleston, Ohio. At that time my father, John Reeder. Was a boy nine years of age. Who told me while they lived in this cabin he got four or five plants of peppermint and planted it there along the creek. That was nearly one hundred years ago. And there is now an abundance of that mint still growing near where the cabin used to stand. By that I could easily locate the site of the old home. \iy grandfather several years later bought a fine farm three miles east of toun on the north and south side of u hat is nowthe London Pike. He raised a large family and lived there until his death in 1848. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
