Opis: Weeds and Flowers - Stone William McDonough

Excerpt from Weeds and Flowers: A Collection of Sketches of East Tennessee; Its Scenery, Folk Lore and People

The writers of the sketches contained in this little volume are natives of East Tennessee. One was born in the northern and the other in the southern portions of East Tennessee. The father of one espoused the cause of the Confederacy and the father of the other that of the Union in the struggles of the late civil war. One is an ardent Democrat, the other an uncompromising Republican. Ancestors of each were signets of the Declaration of Independence. One is a Presbyterian, the other a Baptist. Both are country bred, having each spent the happy time of youth among charming scenes of nature and in the society of that noble race of pioneers who, by inspired word and heroic deeds, have glorified the history of the United States and put East Tennessee conspicuously on the map. On one subject, however, the writers were of one heart and mind, viz.; the pleasant experiences of a childhood spent in rustic and untutored innocence among the mountains and valleys of East Tennessee; and these scenes and experiences, after the lapse of years, they attempt to reflect in the sketches which follow. They may appear crude to the reader, yet they are gratefully presented as tokens of love to the folk-lore of the "good old days" that are no more.
