MISSISSIPPI SCENES:
OR, SKETCHES OF SOUTHERN LIFE AND ADVENTURE.
BY JOS. B. COBB.
"The peculiar manners and odd customs, the curious ways, and still more curious people who reside, live, or float on the great river, are passed in review, and pleasant stories are told about them."—Boston Evening Gazette.
"The stories are well told, and some of the sketches of character are well drawn."—Savannah News.
"We have here a neat volume of sketches by one of the contributors of the Gazette; a gentleman of fine abilities and finished education, who resides in Mississippi. The present volume is confined entirely to scenes of Southern Life, all of which are told with spirit and naturalness."—Saturday Gazette.
"This is a pleasant book, and interesting from the circumstance of the sketches, as the author tells us in his preface, being chiefly drawn from real scenes and characters, illustrative of life in Mississippi; and, happily, for the most part, not the low comic life affected by so many of the recent painters of Southern manners and adventures."—North American.
