From dust jacket: A fifth generation Tallahassean, Fenton Garnett Davis Avant spent most of her ninety-one years in the town she loved and knew so well. "Sister Fenton" was possessed of a keen intellect and of an inquiring and totally retentive mind. She captures well the flavor and spirit of her home town, and joins Ellen Call Long (Florida Breezes) and Suan Bradford Eppes (Through Some Eventful Years) as one of Tallahassee's distinguished literary daughters. Readers will find in My Tallahassee heartwarming stroeis of life in a provincial Southern capital just as the Victorian Age was dissolving into the twentieth century. This unpretentious book of personal reminiscence, covering the years 1889-1917, fills a much needed gap in the history of Florida's capital city. Here are not found the stories of the politically great and of the high and mighty. Rather here are the every day tales of family servants; of children in the first grade; of games and fights at school; of the exhilaration of the circus parade; of the tragedy of the death of children; of rides on the mule-drawn street car; of talks with former family slaves; of amateur dramatic entertainments; of the May Party and many more intriguing stories of the Tallahassee of days gone by.
