Title/Author Description
The House Behind the Cedars
by
Charles Waddell Chesnutt		 "Time touches all things with destroying hand; and if he seem now and then to bestow the bloom of youth, the sap of spring, it is but a brief mockery, to be surely and swiftly followed by the wrinkles of old age, the dry leaves and bare branches of winter. And yet there are places where Time seems to linger lovingly long after youth has departed, and to which he seems loath to bring the evil day. Who has not known some even-tempered old man or woman who seemed to have drunk of the fountain of youth? Who has not seen somewhere an old town that, having long since ceased to grow, yet held its own without perceptible decline?"
Uncle Remus
by
Joel Chandler Harris		 Uncle Remus is a fictional character used by Harris, a white man, to narrate this collection of stories.  But the stories themselves are authentic African folk tales, with common American animals replacing the original African beasts.  The language preserved by Harris is difficult to read today, but is valuable to those studying the evolution of the American Negro dialect.
With Lee in Virginia
by
G.A. Henty		 A Victorian novel about the Civil War: runaway slaves, plantation life, codes of honor, kind and cruel slave owners, and the war itself. Designed to appeal chiefly to teen-agers.
Uncle Tom's Cabin
by
Harriet Beecher Stowe

 

 "So you're the little lady who started the war," Lincoln said when he met the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Indeed, the influence of fictional characters created by a woman who had no first-hand experience with slavery, or even the South, is amazing.
