the long version

The setting for the book is mostly in the South around the time that the Civil War was coming to an end. The book maybe somewhat autobiagraphy since the author claims that many of the incidences are true. The book predated Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind" by almost 50 years. A passage taken from the book "Not a sound was to be heard except maybe the melancholy wind......seeming to say 'gone! All gone"
