_Author's Preface_
Dear to the hearts of the Southerners, young and old, is the vanishing
type conspicuous in Eneas of this record; and as in a sidelight herein
are seen the Southerners themselves, kind of heart, tolerant and
appreciative of the humor and pathos of the negro's life. Eneas would
have been arrested in any country other than the South. In the South he
could have traveled his life out as the guest of his "white folks." Is
the story true? Everybody says it is.
