Augustus Baldwin Longstreet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Augustus Baldwin Longstreet Born September 22 Augusta, Georgia Died July 9 Oxford, Mississippi Occupation lawyer, minster, educator, humorist Nationality American Writing period Genres Southern humor Augustus Baldwin Longstreet (September 22, 1790-July 9, 1870) was an American lawyer, minster, educator, and humorist , born in Augusta, Ga . He graduated at Yale ) and practiced law in Georgia , becoming a district judge in and holding the position for several years, after which he resumed his legal practice in Augusta, did editorial work, and established the Sentinel , which soon merged with the Chronicle ). He became a Methodist minister and in a year was made president of Emory College After nine years he accepted the presidency of Centenary College Louisiana , then of the University of Mississippi , where he stayed for six years, after which he resigned, and became a planter , but was tempted by the presidency of South Carolina College . In a few years, he returned to his old presidency in Mississippi. During his years as a Southern Methodist minister Longstreet preached a doctrine of secession and defended slavery. Scholar Lewis M. Purifoy notes that "Augustus B. Longstreet, in a baccalaureate address to the University of South Carolina graduating class of 1859, urged the young men of his audience to defend Southern rights to the utmost. While they should not strive to break up the Union, they should not ‘make a dishonorable surrender of the thousandth part of the mill more to save it.’ He defended slavery mainly on the ground that freeing [slaves] would be ruinous to Southern society; and the burden of his speech was that the South had suffered long and grievously at the hand of the North. Longstreet assured the class that secession would not lead to war, but, if it should, a united South would win.

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.

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

Writer. Longstreet is remembered today for his collection of humorous stories, Georgia Scenes (1835). A native of Augusta, Ga., he earned a degree from Yale University in 1813, studied law in Litchfield, Conn., and returned to his home state. He later attained professional success as a lawyer, a superior court judge, a proprietor and editor of a newspaper (the State Rights Sentinel , which he used as a forum for his political views, especially for a defense of slavery and nullification), a Methodist minister, and president of four institutions of higher learning (Emory College in Georgia, Centenary College in Louisiana, the University of Mississippi, and the University of South Carolina). His experiences as a lawyer and judge in Georgia furnished Longstreet with an opportunity to observe southerners of every social class, and he made use of these people as characters for Georgia Scenes Walter Blair called Georgia Scenes "the first and most influential book of Southwestern humor." Longstreet's themes and techniques foreshadowed those in the works of such antebellum humorists as Johnson Jones Hooper and George Washington Harris, who followed in this tradition, a tradition that attracted Mark Twain during his writing career. In his use of the South and its people to create a sense of place in fiction, Longstreet opened new territory later traveled by such local colorists of the post-bellum period as Richard Malcolm Johnston and Thomas Nelson Page and by writers of the 20th century, from William Faulkner to Eudora Welty.

The Georgia Room Honorees Augustus Baldwin Longstreet Born: September 22, 1790, Augusta, Georgia Died: July 9, 1870, Oxford, Mississippi B I O G R A P H Y 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.
