LADY BALTIMORE....OUR AUTHOR SHOWS A LOT OF SYMPATHY FOR THE PLIGHT OF THE UPPER ECHELON WHITE SOUTHERNERS WHO FELT THEY LOST A COMPLETE WAY OF LIFE AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.
270 PAGES IN PRINT! A GOOD READ!
In a southern city called Kings Port, where conservativism and old-fashioned customs have remained from before the Civil War, a young man from the north sojourns within its sacred limits -- and into the inner circles of socity.
If you are a Southerner with South Carolina roots, you will find this book an enlightening, amazing, amusing,sometimes astounding look into your ancestors's world in the early 1900's.Owen Wister explained much about southerners who weren't the rednecks we are so often considered to be. You will find Wister's descriptions vivid. They will put you there on the streets of King's Point, in the churchyard cemetery with the hero and in his friend, with him at the boarding house dinner table, and with him on the bottom of a boat moored on a woodland stream. You will all but feel the humidity and smell the smells he so evokes in all his scenes.His many tongue in cheek observations will give you belly laughs as I recalled people from long ago.
