Free Download Reminiscences of an Old Georgia Lawyer : Judge Garnett Andrews By S. Kittrell Rushing 2009 | 201 Pages | ISBN: 1572336919 | PDF | 1 MB The old judge enjoyed swapping tales and sharing company with other lawyers, politicians, and family members. A true aristocrat of the Old South, Garnett Andrews (1798OCo1873) so enjoyed hearing and telling good yarns that he decided late in his life to preserve them for posterity. The judge wrote down a collection of his stories, including tales of men with whom he had workedOCoand some whom he had worked againstOCoand in 1870, about three years before he died, he had his booklet printed and circulated among friends. He titled it Reminiscences of an Old Georgia Lawyer. This new volume reprises AndrewsOCOs work, and features a new introduction by S. Kittrell Rushing. In recounting a lawyerOCOs life from the frontier period through the Civil War and into the Reconstruction era, AndrewsOCOs recollections provide rare and fascinating details, particularly about preOCoCivil War Georgia, the state of the judiciary in the early national periodOCoabout which little has been writtenOCoand the larger political and social milieu of antebellum and postbellum America. This is an eclectic mixture of tall tales, humorous anecdotes, and keen observations about southern society and the practice of law. In his introduction, Rushing places AndrewsOCOs writings in a broad context. He addresses AndrewsOCOs racial views head on, confronting and probing the racism, sexism, and classism of Andrews and his times. In addition, Rushing provides biographical and genealogical information about the judge and his family, including his daughter, the noted diarist and novelist Eliza Frances Andrews. This volume also includes other pieces by Andrews, among them letters, speeches, and his acceptance of the 1855 gubernatorial nomination. Highly readable and lively, Reminiscence of an Old Georgia Lawyer will enlighten and entertain both scholars and general readers interested in the history of Georgia, the Old South, and American legal history. S. Kittrell Rushing is the editor of two works by Eliza Frances Andrews, A Family Secret and Journal of a Georgia Woman, 1870OCo1872. He served for many years as professor and head of the Communications Department at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and at the time of this publication he is serving as interim head of the UTC history department."

It examines select personalities and their ideas since the early twentieth century, their role in the interwoven spheres of socio-religious and political thought, and in burgeoning spiritual imaginaries, often at the intersection of academic and public discourse. As part of a global ecumene connected by affective bonds, these spiritual cosmopolitans often defied binary frameworks (East/ West; imperial core/ periphery; colonizer/ colonized), and in the upshot reappraised and recast the very concept of religion in response to overarching 'this-worldly' exigencies.
