Preface

No attempt has been made to create heroes or heroines, or to appeal to the imagination or the heart.
The earlier incidents were written out from the author’s recollections. The later sketches here given, are the results of recent visits to the South, where the incidents were jotted down at the time of their occurrence, or as they fell from the lips of the narrators, and in their own unadorned dialect.
