Kittrell, Norman G. Ned, nigger an’ gent’man: a story of war and reconstruction days. $1.50. Neale.
7–25078.
Desiring to learn details of the fate of two members of his family who fell in the civil war, a northerner makes his first journey into the south. He becomes a guest of true southern aristocrats, faithful representatives of the very highest class of southern society. The aim of the story seems to be that of modifying a northerner’s abhorrent attitude toward the system of slavery by dropping him into surroundings where master and negro alike are bred to the chivalry of the “quality.”
