The Primes And Their Neighbors

""The Primes and Their Neighbors: Ten Tales of Middle Georgia"" is a collection of ten short stories written by Richard Malcolm Johnston and published in 1891. The book is set in the rural region of Middle Georgia and depicts the lives of its inhabitants, particularly the Primes family and their neighbors. The stories are written in a realistic and humorous style, and they explore themes such as family relationships, social class, and the struggles of daily life. The characters are vividly portrayed, with their quirks and flaws adding to the overall charm of the book. The collection includes stories such as ""Mr. Absalom Billingslea and the Georgia Militia"", which tells the tale of a man who is determined to join the militia despite his lack of qualifications, and ""The Dancin' Party at Harrison's Cove"", which describes the preparations and events of a community dance. Overall, ""The Primes and Their Neighbors"" is a delightful and insightful look into the lives of rural Georgians in the late 19th century, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Southern literature and culture.With Illustrations By E.
