Songs Of The Old South is a collection of poems and songs written by Howard Weeden and published in 1900. The book is a tribute to the people and culture of the American South before the Civil War. Weeden was a white woman who grew up in Huntsville, Alabama and was deeply influenced by the African American community there. Many of the poems in the book are written in dialect and feature characters who are slaves or former slaves. The poems celebrate the beauty of the South and its people, while also acknowledging the pain and struggle of slavery. Weeden's work is notable for its empathy and sensitivity towards African Americans at a time when racism was still deeply entrenched in American society. Songs Of The Old South is considered a classic of Southern literature and an important contribution to the history of African American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
