Excerpt from An Arkansas PlanterThat was the Arkansas planter yearsago, be fore the great sentimental storm swept down upon him, before an evening's tea-table talk in Massachusetts became a tornado of iron in Vir ginia. When ragged and heart-sore he re turned from the army, from as brave a fight as man ever engaged in, he sat down to dream over his vanished greatness. But his dream was short. He went to work, not to te-establish his former condition of ease - for that hope was be yond him - but to make a living for his family.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
