Item description from seller

WIER, A. M. Old Times in Georgia. Good Times and Bad Times. By "Sarge." Atlanta: Constitution Publishing Company, 1903. 126, [1, advt.]pp. Publisher's printed wrappers. Minor edge and spine wear, bottom corner of front wrapper creased, else very good. Dornbusch II, 308. Wright 604. OCLC 2624847. A rare collection of stories both true and apocryphal drawn from Wier's Confederate experiences, told in the voice of "Sarge," a.k.a. Old Man Plunkett (Mrs. Plunkett and a friend, Mr. Brown, sometimes feature as interlocutors in these tales). Most of the author's southern picaresque humor deals with his service in the Second Battalion George Infantry, part of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. In addition to stories of the war, other evocative sections depict rural Georgian life both before and after the war, with attention to courtship, farming life, and interactions with enslaved and freed African-Americans. WorldCat records an earlier edition of 1889; the front wrapper on the present copy gives 1889 as the copyright date.…
