"This second collection of stories on the Southern heritage continues with a combined theme of presenting the old south while not losing sight of the new. Dr. Farley's stories have been applauded for their fresh quality and even flow. Farley's skillful combination of historical fact together with his imagination will surely make a lasting impression on his readers. These stories are a genuine and compassionate portrayal of the people of the region. Also adding to the book's attractiveness are Felix Bauer's illustrations which capture the author's mood and sensitize the reader to the characters' struggles and plight." --provided by Amazon.
