New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, (1974). Signed by the Author. Octavo, green cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 254 pp. Very Good+, in a like, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Golden tells the story of the first Jewish immigrants to the American South, and many famous names are encountered together with fascinating biographical and historical details. Here is the social, cultural, political, and military history of the American South in terms of the notable Jews who came there to escape persecution and privation. We read of their heroic deeds, their sacrifices -- their many contributions to the welfare of the land they adopted. The great names are all here -- Judah Benjamin, the Cone sisters, the Baruchs, the Strauses, the Lehmans, and nuerous others whose good works are knwon throughout the land. Today there are approximately 200,000 Jews in the nine Southern states. Golden describes their religious, business, and socia life in the large cities and in the many small towns where only two or three Jewish families reside, but where they share to a greater degree the organized life of the Christian community around them. Our Southern Landsman is a book embracing both history and biography and is as interesting as it is heartwarming. It concentrates on the human element in American Jewish history and is filled with insights into the Jewish way of life, Southern style.
