Book Description
People think they know about “The South”. Decades of smiling faces with charming drawls in movies and television have given a false sense of reality. The truth is often surprising if not outright shocking. This series of books seeks to explain the history of the South by digging into the source of common phrases and legends. Some definite liberties are taken from time to time as new urban legends are created within these pages. A must have for anyone who has never been down South, one can gain a glimpse behind the curtain forged by centuries of secrecy. A must have for anyone who lives in the South, one can understand traditions handed down by generations with the origin obscured, sometimes by deterioration and sometimes by intention. In this Volume we reveal the reality behind fables with tragic consequences involving Indian tribes, slavery, and the lesser-known cola wars during the Prohibition era. All presented for what has not been seen and perhaps what should never be seen.
