Summary
Mining the rich literary terrain they explored in their previous collection, Stories of the Modern South, Forkner and Samway now look to the prose of an era gone by, the sometimes mellow, sometimes quixotic Old South. Most of the stories in this collection were written in the nineteenth century -- others deal with the historical South from a fresh, newer perspective.
