AUGUSTUS BALDWIN LONGSTREET The first of the Southwestern humorists, Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, was born September 22, 1790 in Augusta, Georgia. Possibly the most accomplished and well-educted of the humorists, Longstreet led a varied and illustrious life. He attended the prestigious Waddell School in Willinton, South Carolina and then entered Yale College. He was a lawyer and served politically on the State Assembly in Georgia and as an elected judge in 1821-1822. After the death of his son in 1824 (one of six children to die as an infant) Longstreet withdrew from political office. In 1830 he began writing sketches that would be collected into the classic text of Southwestern humor, Georgia Scenes , published in 1835. These nineteen stories appeared first as separate publications in the Milledgeville, Georgia Southern Recorder and in the Augusta States Rights Sentinel of which Longstreet was the editor. His stories held an appeal for allranging from a didactic, authoritative tone in "The Charming Creature as a Wife" to the raucous and crude humor of "The Horse Swap" and "The Fight" . It is in his most famous story, "The Fight", that Southwestern humor acquires the character type of the

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet Born on September 22, 1790, Augusta, Georgia. Died July 9, 1870, Oxford, Mississippi Augustus Baldwin Longstreet is often described as the common Georgian's first literary portraitist. Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents, Etc. in the First Half Century of the Republic (1835) was a groundbreaking work which drew the contemporary praise of Edgar Allan Poe for its penetrating understanding of Southern character. A circuit-riding lawyer in Augusta and Greensboro in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, Longstreet drew from his experiences to sketch Georgia Scenes' crossroads character types with their emerging dialects, manners, and moral conflicts. Fueled by Longstreet's acute ear for his characters' speech and his narrative pose of corrective laughter, the nineteen tales made for an immensely popular work that ran through eleven editions between 1835 and 1897. Initially published as individual sketches in various newspapers (including Longstreet's own Augusta-based States Rights Sentinel Georgia Scenes opened up a literary gold seam. As sketches of comic reality for antebellum readers, the book inspired the talents of 19th-century humorists and local color writers whose ultimate expression arrived with Mark Twain. Later, in the twentieth century, the moral conflicts of Longstreet's crossroads stakeholders, town rowdies, and backwoods louts would be resurrected in the humid and often violent landscape drawn by 20th-century Southern writers like Faulkner and O'Connor.

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, Georgia Scenes the man Augustus Baldwin Longstreet : born 1790, Augusta GA; died 1870, Oxford MS. the book First published in 1835, Georgia Scenes presented a collection of some twenty sketches that had originally appeared in local Georgia papers (among them Longstreet’s own Augusta State Rights Sentinel ). It was acclaimed as the first manifestation of what became known as Southwestern Humor—on which Mark Twain and William Faulkner were to feed copiously. Augustus Baldwin Longstreet became intimately acquainted with the backroads of his native region when as a young lawyer he rode the circuit of the Ocmulgee district in Middle Georgia ( see map below Letters on the Epistle of Paul to Philemon or The Connection of Apostolical Christianity with Slavery , a pamphlet calling upon the bible to defend the peculiar institution. In his manners and behavior Longstreet early on came to anticipate the pigheadedness and touchy pride of Southern firebrand secessionists. Georgia Scenes has been acclaimed by critics as an early highlight of Southern literature and a major record of social history of the Lower South in the first half century of the young republic, though its title is misleading and the claims made for the book are, perhaps, too far-flung. The humor that informs some of the sketches is hardly in line with what eventually was labeled Southwestern humor, and rather than offering a survey of the diversity of the ways of life pursued in the various landscapes stretching from the Sea Islands to the Blue Ridge, Longstreet’s volume offers select glimpses of one special section as the focus is primarily on what was termed Middle Georgia, the region of Augusta and the counties situated to the west of the city (

Set in what were then the southwestern states of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri, Southwestern humor originated in the political and oral traditions of this growing region and consists of tales and sketches that are often violent, ribald, and masculine but which also depict some effort at realism and descriptions of the region which had not been attempted previously. Though the movement declined with the ending of the Southwest as a frontier and with the beginning of the Civil War, traits of Southwestern humor became hallmarks of late-nineteenth century realism and local color, particularly in the writings of Mark Twain.

Excerpt from "Once Upon a Time in Newton County" A Short History of Emory from Its Founding to the Civil War Emory Magazine , March 1987 by Beth Dawkins Bassett Augustus Baldwin Longstreet: Emory's Second President When the "faltering" hands of Ignatius Few let go the reins of the College, the "stronger hands" of Judge Augustus Baldwin Longstreet took over, Bullock wrote in his history of Emory. Longstreet was an intelligent, exuberant, Yale-educated Georgia with an imposing presence and a lively sense of humor.... By the time he came to Emory at age fifty, Longstreet had practiced law in and around Augusta, served a term as judge of the Supreme Court of the Ocmulgee District, become a Methodist minister, edited and published an August newspaper, and written a series of sketches that were compiled in a book called Georgia Scences . These stories, told with the flair of a born raconteur and full of earthy humor, made their author famous across the United States. Certainly Longstreet was better known than Emory College, and, wrote Bullock, "his widespread popularity and his well-known abilities immediately lent prestige to the school." The College's reputation grew during his eight-year term, and the number of graduates swelled to equal the number finishing the University of Georgia, which had been founded fifty-one years before Emory.... The most distinguished early graduate was L.Q.C. Lamar, who remembered his school days with great fondness. On a return visit h e said, "No spot on earth has so helped to form and make me what I am as this town of Oxford."

Search Augustus Baldwin Longstreet's "Georgia Scenes" Completed A Scholarly Text Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, Edited by David Rachels Augustus Baldwin Longstreet's Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents, Etc. in the First Half Century of the Republic has long been considered the first important work of "Old Southwestern" humor and more lately has been recognized as a seminal example of literary realism. Despite its popularity and significance, Georgia Scenes has been flawed from the outset. Longstreet did not proofread the first edition, which introduced literally hundreds of misprints. In this collection, David Rachels corrects these errors, adds nine previously uncollected "Georgia Scenes" to Longstreet's original set of nineteen stories, and includes a selection of items published anonymously in Longstreet's newspaper and discussion of lost manuscripts of Georgia Scenes. In the introduction, Rachels surveys Longstreet's place in literature and provides an up-to-date look at the legends and facts of Longstreet's life.

James Longstreet to Augustus Baldwin Longstreet Camp, Culpeper Courthouse [Va.] July 24, 1863 To A. B. Longstreet, LL. D., Columbus, Ga. My Dear Uncle: Your letters of the 13 th and 14 th were received on yesterday. As to our late battle [near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania], I cannot say much. I have no right to say anything, in fact, but will venture a little for you alone. If it goes to aunt and cousins, it must be under promise that it will go no further. The battle was not made as I would have made it. My idea was to throw ourselves between the enemy and Washington, select a strong position, and force the enemy to attack us. So far as is given to man the ability to judge, we may say with confidence that we should have destroyed the Federal army, marched into Washington, and dictated our terms, or, at least, held Washington and marched over as much of Pennsylvania as we cared to, had we drawn the enemy into attack upon our carefully chosen position in his rear. Most affectionately yours, J. Longstreet Source: "General James Longstreet’s Account of the Campaign and Battle,"
