This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsIn Which the Reader Is Introduced to a Man of HumanityLate in the afternoon of a chilly day in February, two gentlemen weresitting alone over their wine, in a well-furnished dining parlor, inthe town of P----, in Kentucky. There were no servants present, and thegentlemen, with chairs closely approaching, seemed to be discussing somesubject with great earnestness.For convenience sake, we have said, hitherto, two _gentlemen_. One ofthe parties, however, when critically examined, did not seem, strictlyspeaking, to come under the species. He was a short, thick-set man,with coarse, commonplace features, and that swaggering air of pretensionwhich marks a low man who is trying to elbow his way upward in theworld. He was much over-dressed, in a gaudy vest of many colors, a blueneckerchief, bedropped gayly with yellow spots, and arranged with aflaunting tie, quite in keeping with the general air of the man. Hishands, large and coarse, were plentifully bedecked with rings; and hewore a heavy gold watch-chain, with a bundle of seals of portentoussize, and a great variety of colors, attached to it,--which, in theardor of conversation, he was in the habit of flourishing and jinglingwith evident satisfaction. His conversation was in free and easydefiance of Murray's Grammar,* and was garnished at convenient intervalswith various profane expressions, which not even the desire to begraphic in our account shall induce us to transcribe. * English Grammar (1795), by Lindley Murray (1745-1826), the most authoritative American grammarian of his day.His companion, Mr. Shelby, had the appearance of a gentleman; and thearrangements of the house, and the general air of the housekeeping,indicated easy, and even opulent circumstances. As we before stated, thetwo were in the midst of an earnest conversation."That is the way I should arrange the matter," said Mr. Shelby."I can't make trade that way--I positively can't, Mr. Shelby," said theother, holding up a glass of wine between his eye and the light."Why, the fact is, Haley, Tom is an uncommon fellow; he is certainlyworth that sum anywhere,--steady, honest, capable, manages my whole farmlike a clock.""You mean honest, as niggers go," said Haley, helping himself to a glassof brandy."No; I mean, really, Tom is a good, steady, sensible, pious fellow. Hegot religion at a camp-meeting, four years ago; and I believe hereally _did_ get it. I've trusted him, since then, with everything Ihave,--money, house, horses,--and let him come and go round the country;and I always found him true and square in everything.""Some folks don't believe there is pious niggers Shelby," said Haley,with a candid flourish of his hand, "but _I do_. I had a fellow, now,in this yer last lot I took to Orleans--'t was as good as a meetin, now,really, to hear that critter pray; and he was quite gentle and quietlike. He fetched me a good sum, too, for I bought him cheap of a manthat was 'bliged to sell out; so I realized six hundred on him. Yes, Iconsider religion a valeyable thing in a nigger, when it's the genuinearticle, and no mistake.""Well, Tom's got the real article, if ever a fellow had," rejoined theother. "Why, last fall, I let him go to Cincinnati alone, to do businessfor me, and bring home five hundred dollars. 'Tom,' says I to him,'I trust you, because I think you're a Christian--I know you wouldn'tcheat.' Tom comes back, sure enough; I knew he would. Some low fellows,they say, said to him--Tom, why don't you make tracks for Canada?' 'Ah,master trusted me, and I couldn't,'--they told me about it. I am sorryto part with Tom, I must say.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet Beecher Stowe is considered via many to have written the most influential American novel in history. When she met President Lincoln in 1862, he reportedly referred to as her "the little girl who started out this massive war." Indeed, Uncle Tom's Cabin become the primary social protest novel posted inside the United States. In analyses of Uncle Tom's Cabin, many critics experience that Stowe's writing turned into deeply encouraged with the aid of the truth that her father, husband, and brothers had been all ministers. Because she became a woman and therefore could not preach, Stowe let her Christianity inspire her first, most essential and influential novel. Stowe changed into additionally inspired via her private revel in with the antislavery motion at some point of her adolescence on the northern aspect of the Ohio River, a border between slave states and freedom. With the urging of her sister-in-law, Stowe determined to apply her writing competencies to similarly the abolitionist, or anti-slavery, purpose. Thus, Uncle Tom's Cabin was born.It started as a sequence of testimonies at some point of 1851-52 for the National Era, a Washington abolitionist newspaper. Upon its book in 1852 by using the Boston publishing corporation Jewett, Uncle Tom's Cabin have become so famous that it offered greater copies than any book earlier than that with the acceptation of the Bible. Stowe toured the US and Europe to speak in opposition to slavery and wrote A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin a yr. later, in 1853, to provide documentation of the truth upon which her novel is primarily based.

Published in 1852, and "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War"Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century .It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war."The quote is apocryphal; it did not appear in print until 1896, and it has been argued that "The long-term durability of Lincoln's greeting as an anecdote in literary studies and Stowe scholarship can perhaps be explained in part by the desire among many contemporary intellectuals ... to affirm the role of literature as an agent of social change

Book excerpt: Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly, is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War," according to Will Kaufman. Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Seminary and an active abolitionist, featured the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before 1910 the American chestnut was one of the most common trees in the eastern United States. Although historical evidence suggests the natural distribution of the American chestnut extended across more than four hundred thousand square miles of territory—an area stretching from eastern Maine to southeast Louisiana—stands of the trees could also be found in parts of Wisconsin, Michigan, Washington State, and Oregon. An important natural resource, chestnut wood was preferred for woodworking, fencing, and building construction, as it was rot resistant and straight grained. The hearty and delicious nuts also fed wildlife, people, and livestock. Ironically, the tree that most piqued the emotions of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Americans has virtually disappeared from the eastern United States. After a blight fungus was introduced into the United States during the late nineteenth century, the American chestnut became functionally extinct. Although the virtual eradication of the species caused one of the greatest ecological catastrophes since the last ice age, considerable folklore about the American chestnut remains. Some of the tree’s history dates to the very founding of our country, making the story of the American chestnut an integral part of American cultural and environmental history. The American Chestnut tells the story of the American chestnut from Native American prehistory through the Civil War and the Great Depression. Davis documents the tree’s impact on nineteenth-and early twentieth-century American life, including the decorative and culinary arts. While he pays much attention to the importation of chestnut blight and the tree’s decline as a dominant species, the author also evaluates efforts to restore the American chestnut to its former place in the eastern deciduous forest, including modern attempts to genetically modify the species.
