Colonel Carter of Cartersville
This was a great little book, and considering that it was published in 1891 it was in incredible condition!It made it even better that the story was amusing and the characters much deeper than you would expect from a first time author.I was delighted to be able to find one of these original books in such fine condition.I keep it in an antique theme bedroom, on top of an original wooden cabinet AM/FM radio.I have a green satin ribbon slipped into it for use as a bookmark.It looks as if the owner just put it down in the 1890's and slipped off to sleep.It is another bit of authenticity that I have been trying to bring to the room which holds the bedroom suite that has been in this family since 1801, three generations, given new to a Grandparent for her wedding(my husbands Mother's Mom), then my husbands parents received it as a gift to begin their life with, and then my husband and I began our life together with the same suite.It is so much fun for me to bring it back to the condition it must have been kept in when the Salzberger family first brought it home for their daughter, as the traditional gift to the bride, from her parents.
If anyone wants an entertaining look into the Old South, with the kindness in which everyone was regarded, try to find this book.
Where I live, many still do live this same way.With the same care and love for friends and neighbors and an even deeper care for family ties .
