American Adventures: A Second Trip 'Abroad at home'
Street, Julian
Southern States -- Description and travel; Southern States -- Social life and customs
St. Philip's is the more beautiful for the open space before it 300
Opposite St. Philip's, a perfect example of the rude architecture of
an old French village 305
In the doorway and gates of the Smyth house, in Legare Street, I was
struck with a Venetian suggestion 316
Nor is the Charleston background a mere arras of recollection 320
Charleston has a stronger, deeper-rooted city entity than all the
cities of the Middle West rolled into one 328
The interior is the oldest looking thing in the United States--Goose
Creek Church 344
A reminder of the Chicago River--Atlanta 353
With the whole Metropolitan Orchestra playing dance music all night
long 368
The office buildings are city office buildings, and are sufficiently
numerous to look very much at home 376
The negro roof-garden, Odd Fellows' Building, Atlanta 385
I was never so conscious, as at the time of our visit to the Burge
Plantation, of the superlative soft sweetness of the spring 396
The planters cease their work 400
Birmingham--the thin veil of smoke from far-off iron furnaces
softens the city's serrated outlines 408
Birmingham practices unremittingly the pestilential habit of
"cutting in" at dances 424
Gigantic movements and mutations, Niagara-like noises, great bursts
of flame like falling fragments from the sun 437
A shaggy, unshaven, rawboned man, gray-haired and collarless, sat
near the window 444
Gaze upon the character called Daniel Voorhees Pike! 456
The houses were full of the suggestion of an easy-going home life
and an informal hospitality 465
Her hands looked very white and small against his dark coat 480
As water flows down the hills of Vicksburg to the river, so the
visitor's thoughts flow down to the great spectacular, mischievous,
dominating stream 485
Over the tenement roofs one catches sight of sundry other buildings
of a more self-respecting character 492
Vicksburg negroes 497
On some of the boats negro fish-markets are conducted 504
The old Klein house 512
Citizens go at midday to the square 520
Hanging in the air above the middle of the stream 536
