Carry Me Back To My Mother's Home Once More
A fragmented historical miscellany recounts a mournful ballad of a youth returning home in storm and sleet, begging to be carried back to his mother. It threads through Southern literary critique, Emigrant siege accounts, and editorials urging self-reliance, domestic industry, and support for local presses. The piece also includes social gossip on opera goers and a dramatic execution narrative, plus a wartime love letter from a British officer to an American lady.
