The negro roof-garden, Odd Fellows' Building, Atlanta 385 I was never so conscious, as at the time of our visit to the Burge Plantation, of the superlative soft sweetness of the spring 396 The planters cease their work 400 Birmingham--the thin veil of smoke from far-off iron furnaces softens the city's serrated outlines 408 Birmingham practices unremittingly the pestilential habit of "cutting in" at dances 424 Gigantic movements and mutations, Niagara-like noises, great bursts of flame like falling fragments from the sun 437 A shaggy, unshaven, rawboned man, gray-haired and collarless, sat near the window 444 Gaze upon the character called Daniel Voorhees Pike! 456 The houses were full of the suggestion of an easy-going home life and an informal hospitality 465 Her hands looked very white and small against his dark coat 480 As water flows down the hills of Vicksburg to the river, so the visitor's thoughts flow down to the great spectacular, mischievous, dominating stream 485 |
