Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oddities in Southern Life and Character The joking which takes its rise from such sources must needs be rough. In presenting it in the fol lowing pages it is not my purpose to make muchboast of its quality, but to offer it as in some sort a picture of a day that is gone, of a race which has passed into history, of a region whose swamps and ridges, mountain passes and vast cotton lands, given over for a century to song and dance and sun burnt mirth, constituted a mise en some for the strangest domestic melodrama of modern times.
