Support Your Local Confederate
Wit and Humor in the Southern Confederacy

When one thinks of the American Civil War and the South, the last thing that comes to mind is hilarity, merriment, and levity. Yet, the Confederate soldier had a finely tuned sense of the ridiculous, evident at times even in the heat of battle, as award-winning author-historian Lochlainn Seabrook amply demonstrates in his entertaining lighthearted book, Support Your Local Confederate: Wit and Humor in the Southern Confederacy.Derived from original Nineteenth- and early Twentieth-Century sources, Seabrook's collection of some 400 old-timey entries covers a wide spectrum of authentic Confederate humor, from jokes about the everyday life of a so…

When one thinks of the American Civil War and the South, the last thing that comes to mind is hilarity, merriment, and levity. Yet, the Confederate soldier had a finely tuned sense of the ridiculous, evident at times even in the heat of battle, as award-winning author-historian Lochlainn Seabrook amply demonstrates in his entertaining lighthearted book, Support Your Local Confederate: Wit and Humor in the Southern Confederacy.Derived from original Nineteenth- and early Twentieth-Century sources, Seabrook's collection of some 400 old-timey entries covers a wide spectrum of authentic Confederate humor, from jokes about the everyday life of a soldier, to funny anecdotal stories concerning food, clothing, the weather, women, marching, weaponry, and combat; from witty Confederate sayings, to sagacious Confederate views and advice on money, success, marriage, and happiness. The whimsical, sarcastic, and often sharp-tongued Confederate soldier spared no one: his waggish playfulness, droll erudition, devilish prank-playing, and witty repartee found an overabundance of unsuspecting victims among his army buddies, his highfalutin superiors, and even his Yankee foes - a group with whom he often shared coffee, traded clothing, and engaged in comical banter.Along with an introduction, endnotes, and bibliography, Mr. Seabrook's work is generously illustrated with old Confederate images from the Victorian Era, and also includes several of his own jocose contributions. This delightful and hilarious romp through the archives of Confederate wisdom, tomfoolery, and horseplay will make you think, smile, and laugh out loud. Destined to become a classic in Southern literature. Support Your Local Confederate is available in paperback and hardcover.

Über den Autor
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Neo-Victorian writer-scholar Lochlainn Seabrook - a cousin of King James and a descendant of Tiberius Caesar, emperor of Rome during the time of Jesus - is the recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and the author and editor of (currently) 76 popular books that have introduced hundreds of thousands to the truths left out of our mainstream history books. His numerous literary works and forty-five year background in theology, thealogy, spirituality, mythology, and comparative religion and myth, have earned him the appellations the American Robert Graves and the Southern Joseph Campbell. A seventh-generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Seabrook is the author of Seabrook's Bible Dictionary, Jesus and the Gospel of Q, Christ is All and in All, Christmas Before Christianity, The Book of Kelle, Britannia Rules, and Jesus and the Law of Attraction.
