Description:The Honey-Pod Tree was narrated by Lawyer Walker of Gloucester--as he was popularly called--after prolonged entreaty by Florence L. Lattimore, a professional social worker who saw in his experience not only material for a biography of compelling human interest but also an historically valuable epitome of the Reconstruction Period as it was lived through by one born in slavery in the aristocratic Tidewater section of the Old Dominion. Miss Lattimore, an investigator and lecturer of the Russell Sage Foundation, was sent to Virginia to observe and record social conditions there. She became acquainted with Lawyer Walker and was greatly impressed by the work that he was doing as a free lance for those of his people who were in need of help. The more that Miss Lattimore saw of his work the more she felt the importance of its being recorded in biographical form. She had difficulty in making Mr. Walker see this, for he was truly humble; but finally she got him to agree to write down the story of his life and send it to her in sections. This continued over a period of years, for there were times when he was so busy that it was quite impossible for him to work on it. Miss Lattimore put in a good deal of time and thought upon the material he sent her, arranging and editing it until it was ready for publication.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
