Thomas Nelson Page
 
Thomas Nelson Page 1853-1922, author of short stories, novels, essays, and
poetry, is best known for his role as literary spokesman for the glories
of the Old South. Born in 1853 and only 11 years old when the Civil War
ended, Page, writing in the plantation genre of John Pendleton Kennedy and
others, created of the antebellum South a mythical, would-be land of noble
gentlemen and ladies, of contented slaves, a society ordered by the laws
of chivalry.
