Look Away Dixieland is a vivid portrayal of life during the Reconstruction following the War Between the States. Within these pages are heroes and scalawags, slaves and freemen, masters and servants. This is a hard-hitting tale, told the way it was - with negro dialect, class prejudice, and struggles to survive as they really existed - and throughout it all is the romance and elegance of the Old South.
