Description

Though Southern rural life has necessarily changed for the reason that Civil War, I doubt that there’s in all the South a place where it has changed not up to at the Burge Plantation, near Covington, Georgia. And I have no idea in the entire country a place that I will have to fairly see again in springtime – the Georgia springtime, when the air is sort of a tonic vapor distilled from the earth, from pine trees, tulip trees, balm-of-Gilead trees (or “bam” trees, as the negroes call them), blossoming Judas trees, Georgia crab-apple, dogwood pink and white, peach blossom, wistaria, sweet-shrub, dog violets, pansy violets, Cherokee roses, wild honeysuckle, azalia, and the evanescent green of new treetops, all carried in solution in the sunlight.
