In Talbot County, Eastern Shore, State of Maryland, near Easton, the County
town, there is a small district of country, thinly populated, and
remarkable for nothing that I know of more than for the worn-out, sandy,
desert-like appearance of its soil, the general dilapidation of its farms
and fences, the indigent and spiritless character of its inhabitants, and
the prevalence of ague and fever. It was in this dull, flat, and unthrifty
district or neighborhood, bordered by the Choptank river, among the laziest
and muddiest of streams, surrounded by a white population of the lowest
order, indolent and drunken to a proverb, and among slaves who, in point of
ignorance and indolence, were fully in accord with their surroundings, that
I, without any fault of my own, was born, and spent the first years of my
childhood.
Two sentences!
Now here's something we hope you'll *really* like...
