Originally published as The South Old and New: A History 1820-1947 (sent a copy of that version to Emily)

This is a ponderous book but if you can get through at least one volume you will find you understand the South like you never understood it before. I wonder if there is a substitute for this book anywhere else? Gone with the Wind comes to mind. But History of the South explains the idea of English manners and heritage, etc. (
