Book Synopsis
First published in 1949, Frank Lawrence Owsley's Plain Folk of the Old South refuted the popular myth that the antebellum South contained only three classes, planters, poor whites, and slaves. Owsley draws on a wide range of source materials to reconstruct the prewar South's large and significant “yeoman farmer” middle class.
