Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Seven Years Among the Freedmen
Directly one of the southern ladies, two or three seats distant, says in a loud voice, You'll soon see some nigger teachers. My husband says they all wear Spectacles, and read newspapers.
We laugh in our sleeves to think the high-toned southrons sought our society, and don't dream they are traveling with hated nigger teachers; but we say nothing.
Arriving at Jackson, Tennessee, the lame lady, and all but one of the others, change cars for New Orleans.
