"The Summer-Land: A Southern Story, by A Child of the Sun", published by Appleton, New York, copyright and published in 1855, First Edition.

From the Preface:..."With the exception of a change of names, and the coloring of a story, a faithful endeavor has been made to depict a true and honest picture of life and scenery in the South; with sketches of character, customs, etc., among the planters.The author is a Southerner. He has travelled extensively over his native land, and these sketches are drawn almost entirely from his note-book, with the exceptions above mentioned. While there are no personal portraitures, each character is intended as a type of such people as are found in the South."
