Overview

Ray Cunningham was born in a hundred-year-old log cabin in Alabama, where most folks were short on book learning. Desiring to save his native dialect, Ray traveled extensively, cataloging the terms and phrases of his youth. That collection slowly grew into a manuscript, which was originally published as Old Timey Southern Talk. This book has been brought back into print and expanded to include even more idioms and pronunciations. The charm and humor of this dialect is preserved and honored in this volume.
