194. Joseph Glover Baldwin, 1815-1864

Baldwin’s sketches preserve impressions of his life as a lawyer during a practice of some 18 years in Mississippi and Alabama when both states were on the old southwestern frontier. Thebackwoods lawyers, wildcat speculators, gamblers, braggarts, and brave men who were typical of the time and place are treated with satiric humor and realism in what has been called a minor American classic.
