Product Description
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. ... Read more

From the supplier: The book 'Georgia Scenes' is regarded as the seminal work of American literary realism. Although it appeared under a pseudonym, it is known to be the work of Augustus Baldwin Longstreet. However, one selection included in the book, 'The Militia Company Drill,' was written by Oliver Hillhouse Prince, using the pseudonym "Timothy Crabshaw." Because of the confusion over pseudonyms, Prince's role in the development of American literary realism has not been widely recognized.
