Book excerpt: Excerpt from Subdued Southern Nobility: A Southern Ideal The publishers have requested me to write a preface to this little volume, and that, too, without assigning any valid reason for so doing. I must confess I see no necessity for one myself, only it may be well to ask my readers to be charitable in their criticisms. The ideal to which I ask the reader's attention begins before the recent unpleasantness between the North and South, continues during that gigantic struggle for national existence, and ends before a final reconstruction takes place. My readers are, therefore, brought face to face with some suppressed historic facts that will be found interesting in connection with the characters introduced. It has been my object from beginning to end to give facts rather than overdrawn fancies, and if I have failed to make the book as interesting as my readers may have expected, they have the assurance of having received "more truth than poetry" for their money.
