Southern Life in Southern Literature A priceless collection of interesting and historical literary arts. The range of authors and history gives this work a well-rounded aspect. The inclusion of full writings and brief histories of authors makes it desirable beyond measure. The interwoven works of authors both obscure and famous gives one a delectable flavor of the history of the South. Any student of literature, especially one from the South should have this work included in their studies. The artwork and preservation of the original language make this a truly classic and memorable work. But it is the quality of the writings that draw you on through the pages to discover the next delight hidden beyond. No educated person will want to miss this finely wrought work. Don't miss the questions and notes at the back of the book. They give fullness to the text and bring the thinking mind into play. Review By: Mary Woodis Author of The Nature Study Idea Book and Oakie of the Oak Tree Wonderful historical review of each author, gives you a closer look into the Old South! Great Southern and Civil War Poetry and much, much more!! THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil, Fighting for our liberty, with treasure, blood, and toil; And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far: Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star! Hurrah! Hurrah! for Southern rights, Hurrah! Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star! As long as the Union was faithful to her trust, Like friends and like brethren kind were we and just; But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar, We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star. First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand; Then came Alabama, who took her by the hand; Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida, All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.
