From the Back Cover
There is perhaps no more evocative phrase in American history than the Old South. Focusing on a period form the late 1700s through the end of the Civil War, this seasoned author takes her readers through all 12 of the Southern states to find again the innocence and and romance of their antebellum past. Take plantation tours during pilgrimage in Natchez, Mississippi, when visitors may also enjoy period dance and music performances, sample traditional foods, and take horse and carriage tours. Experience historic Augusta, Georgia, one of the few Southern cities that remained unscathed by General Shermans fiery route through the South, and visit the pinch gut district, which was named for the corsets its fashionable ladies wore. Sara Pitzer is the author of North Carolina: Off the Beaten Path, Recommended Country Inns in The South, and Traveling in South Carolina.

Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Eleven-year-old Vixie, the shepherd's daughter, is living in a period of great change. The time is 1908. The old countryside ways are dying and the old trades are vanishing. But Vixie is full of spirit and imagination. When she is sent off into the world, only half-prepared and half-educated, she puts her mind and strength into making the best of things. This is the story of one year in the life of Martha Bowden, nicknamed Vixie, of the changes that happen to her and her family, and of how she grows up in a peaceful village in Wiltshire at the turn of the century. Reminiscent of Laurie Lee's Cider With Rosie and the writings of Thomas Hardy, this is an evocative and moving novel for young readers. Seller Inventory # 00107354145
