Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Zigzag Journey in the Sunny South This melange of historical and dialect stories is intended to direct the attention of young people to the romances of the South, and to suggest literary and historic studies relating to the Gulf States and the Islands of the Southern Cross. The narrative takes one to Florida and the islands first visited by Columbus. The writer is indebted to his friends for several interpolated sketches and stories, - among them, to Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford, Mr. James Parton, Paul H. Hayne, Mrs. Marie B. Williams, Mrs. Mary E. C. Wyeth, and the late "Sherwood Bonner." The volume has grown out of courses of reading which the writer took to prepare him for a winter excursion to Jacksonville, Tampa, and Havana, and follows the course of the other Zigzag books in picturing countries by stories.
