Our People: Stories of the South

These stories span more than two hundred years in the South. They tell of: a Confederate Captain whose son is killed by his side in battle; a white woman searching for her black lover on the battlefield in Nashville; a slave who is almost killed at birth by her mother; a woman captured by Indians; two boys who hunt a ‘man-killer’ bear; a former slave and former Confederate Colonel riding in a wagon, drinking hard-cider and talking about the past; a fox hunter converted by the conquest of a great hound; and others that tell of good people and of some who are just awful. Most of all, these stories are about all kinds of love.
