Publisher's Synopsis

""Uncle Isaac Or Old Days In The South: A Remembrance Of The South"" is a memoir written by William Dudley Powers and published in 1899. The book recounts the author's experiences growing up in the American South during the mid-19th century. The central character of the book is Uncle Isaac, a former slave who becomes a trusted friend and mentor to the author. Through Uncle Isaac's stories and wisdom, Powers provides a vivid and often nostalgic portrait of life in the antebellum South, including its customs, traditions, and social hierarchies. The book also touches on the Civil War and its aftermath, as well as the challenges faced by African Americans in the Reconstruction era. Overall, ""Uncle Isaac Or Old Days In The South"" offers a unique perspective on a bygone era in American history and the enduring bonds of friendship and respect that can transcend even the deepest societal divides.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
