520 _a"Ole Mars an' Ole Miss" by Edmund K. Goldsborough is a narrative work likely written in the late 19th century. The book captures the experiences and stories of African Americans on the Eastern Shore of Maryland during the antebellum period, reflecting their culture, humor, and religious life. Significant characters include Ole Mars, representing a benevolent plantation master, and Ole Miss, embodying kindness and maternal warmth toward their enslaved community. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for a rich portrayal of life before the Civil War, with a delightful mix of vernacular dialogue and character introductions. It introduces a variety of characters, including Pawson Demby, a preacher known for his lively sermons filled with religious teachings, and characters like Uncle Reubin Viney and Little Billy, who embody the spirit and humor of the community. The scene is lively and filled with traditional activities such as church services, social gatherings, and the preparation for baptisms, giving readers a sense of the vibrancy and challenges of life during this period.
