DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Grandfather's Tales of North Carolina History, Vol. 9 Grandfather's Tales of North Carolina History was an inspiration of State love, and was at first intended for the private instruction of my children and grandchildren. Its preparation was commenced ten years ago, as a labor of love, in the leisure time taken from my regular editorial work. As the work progressed we occasionally published specimen chapters of the work in order to ascertain whether it met the public approval. It seemed to do so, and some of our friends expressed their approval in gratifying terms of commendation. Then we thought it might be a useful offering to the public and to our schools and perhaps give a new stimulus to the State love of the rising generation and cause them to know more of their illustrious progenitors, and to emulate their virtues and their patriotic deeds. One boulder was in our pathway. It costs labor to prepare a book for publication. But we were raised to hard work and were never afraid of it. But, in addition to that, there's much expense in money in getting a book before the public, and we never had the gift of money-getting and we were largely gifted with the talent for getting rid of it, which talent, we honestly confess, we have never "hid in a napkin," but cultivated assiduously by constant practice - that is to say, when we had it to get rid of. However, we have never been an Elijah that the ravens had to feed. So we looked around to accomplish by our wits what our purse refused to do.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →For his humanistic religious verse, his poignant and deeply personal antislavery poems, and, above all, his lifelong enthusiasm for liberty, nature, and the art of poetry, George Moses Horton merits a place of distinction among nineteenth-century African American poets. Enslaved from birth until the close of the Civil War, the self-taught Horton was the first American slave to protest his bondage in published verse and the first black man to publish a book in the South. As a man and as a poet, his achievements were extraordinary. In this volume, Joan Sherman collects sixty-two of Horton's poems. Her comprehensive introduction--combining biography, history, cultural commentary, and critical insight--presents a compelling and detailed picture of this remarkable man's life and art. George Moses Horton (ca. 1797-1883) was born in Northampton County, North Carolina. A slave for sixty-eight years, Horton spent much of his life on a farm near Chapel Hill, and in time he fostered a deep connection with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The author of three books of poetry, Horton was inducted into the North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame in May of 1996.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Daisy Tales and Other Stories of My Grandfather’s Younger Days in the South Georgia Piney Woods By: Joseph P. Byrd, IV Daisy Tales and Other Stories of My Grandfather’s Younger Days in the South Georgia Piney Woods is a book of stories, remembrances and maybe a few tall tales as recounted by the author’s maternal grandfather, William Leroy Edwards. Much of the material, obtained by his father, was transcribed by his mother in the summer of 1955 when his widowed grandfather visited their home. Upon reading his grandfather’s stories, the author was transported back in time to the Georgia frontier and impressed with his sense of humor. Initially, thinking it a project to share with family, the author concluded these stories would appeal to a larger readership who would be interested in memoirs/history/Southern humor in addition to family history.
