Best of Hillbilly by Jim Comstock.

Eneas Africanus by Harry Stillwell Edwards. 1951 copyright, originally published in 1920. Small, unusual hardcover book in good condition. Supposedly true story (from AbeBooks: "Reprint of this (politically incorrect) Southern classic. "This story of the devotion of a Southern darky to his "white folks" is one of the great classics of Southern literature - a book beloved by hundreds of thousands.It was in 1865 [sic., i.e. 1864] that Eneas became separated from his master and started out to look for the home plantation. For eight years he wandered the South - a veritable pilgrimage through the wilderness. His adventures are humorous, yet tug at the heart strings, and he and the people he encounters emerge vivid and real. The whole brilliantly portrays an attitude and a way of life of a time not so long past, and does it with unforgettable charm, whimst and brevity.").
