Description

Georgia Scenes is a collection of humorous sketches written by Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, first published in 1835. The book is set in rural Georgia during the early 19th century and portrays the lives and customs of the people who lived there. The sketches are written in a vernacular style, with a focus on the dialect and manners of the characters. The book is divided into several sections, each one containing a series of sketches that explore different aspects of life in Georgia, such as courtship, religion, and politics. Longstreet's writing is witty and satirical, poking fun at the quirks and foibles of the people he portrays. The book is considered a classic of Southern literature, and its portrayal of life in rural Georgia has been praised for its accuracy and authenticity.The young ladies had generally collected before any of the young men appeared. It was not long, however, before a large number of both sexes were assembled, and they adjourned to the ballroom . But for the snapping of a fiddle-string, the young people would have been engaged in the amusement of the day in less than three minutes from the time they entered the house. Here were no formal introductions to be given, no drawing for places or partners, no parade of managers, no ceremonies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
