John Eax and Mamelon: Or the South Without the Shadow (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from John Eax and Mamelon: Or the South Without the Shadow

The two stories that compose this volume are printed in this form because I love them. Almost a decade has passed since they were written. I feel old while I read the proofs, as if looking upon a swift-grown child. I have not changed them - I could not. To me they are parts of a great panorama which I tried to paint with the whole vast scene outspread before me. To change a part would mar the harmony of the whole.

I was first impelled to attempt the fields of romantic fiction by the weird fascinations of Southern life.
