http://www.pgdp.net  a"Southern Stories" is a collection of short stories by various authors, compiled and retold from the magazine "St. Nicholas," and published in the early 20th century. This anthology captures the rich tapestry of Southern culture, folklore, and historical narratives, showcasing the experiences and imaginations of its characters, many of whom exemplify the charm and trials of life in the South.  The opening portion of the collection introduces a series of vivid tales that blend nostalgia with the realities of Southern life, starting with "His Hero" by Margaret Minor, which follows a young boy fascinated by the Civil War and his idolization of General Robert E. Lee. It sets the scene on a picturesque autumn day at Mountain Top Inn, where the boy reminisces about soldiers and battles, leading to a moment of excitement when he meets the general himself. Other stories promise a further exploration of Southern themes, featuring diverse characters and scenarios that range from heroic aspirations to humorous childhood adventures. Each narrative represents a blend of fantasy and reality, inviting readers into a world steeped in Southern tradition and memory.
