Befo’ De War Echoes in Negro Dialect

A collection of short stories written in African American dialect, capturing the experience of life before the Civil War in the southern United States. The stories are a mix of humor, tragedy, and social commentary, offering a window into a world that has largely been lost to history. The authors, both white southerners, were keen observers of their culture and their writing provides a valuable record of the era.
