By Edwin DuBois Shurter

Book Overview

Oratory of the South: From the Civil War to the Present Time is a comprehensive study of the history of public speaking in the American South. Written by Edwin DuBois Shurter, the book examines the speeches of prominent Southern orators from the post-Civil War era to the mid-twentieth century, including politicians, preachers, and activists.
