B. Baker, presided.
Program leader was Mrs. It.
F. Sanders. The topic was on
u Southern Authors On The
Pre-War Between the States
Period.”
Mrs. Sanders stated that be
fore her research, she had nc
idea there were so manj
Southern Authors. It wat
interesting to note that the
most frequently mentioned
authors prior to 1850 were
clergymen, doctors, educators
and lawyers; that perhaps
these were the only persons
who had educations, and most
of their works pertained to
their professions.
There were also more female
author* of that period than
one would suspect “But writ
ing was one of the few things
a woman could do at that time
without being ostracized,” the
speaker said.
The information for the
program was obtained from the
“Library of Southern Litera
ture” compiled by Lucian La
mar Knight.
These are the authors listed
from Newberry: John Brown
Carwile, John A. Chapman,
James Wood Davidson, Job
Johnstone, Burr James Ram-
age, J. H. Hammond and
Marcus Claudius Marcellus
Hammond.
Richard Furman and two of
his sons are mentioned among
Southern authors. Others who
left their mark were Henry
Watkins Allen, Robert Francis
Withers Alston, Caroline Aug
usta Ball.
Pierre Gustave Toutant
Beauregard was an author as
well as a soldier.
Kate Cornish is listed a
South Carolina poet who wrote
under the name of “Kil Court-
land.” She had written a num
ber of poems, and in 1907, the
Dixie Chapter of the UDC at
Greenville published these in
book form.
Mrs. Ralph B. Baker read a
poem by Sidney Lanier at the
program’s close. Mrs. Shealy
dismissed the chapter with a
prayer.
