Longstreet was born on September 22, 1790, in Augusta, Georgia.
As a young man out of law school, Longstreet rode as a circuit
lawyer in rural Georgia. During these trips Longstreet heard
folk stories and experienced the back-country lifestyles that he
came to record in Georgia Scenes. Longstreet served as a
superior court judge and representative in the Georgia Assembly.
Moved by the death of his eldest son, Longstreet pursued a
career in the Methodist ministry. Longstreet went on to serve as
president of four universities, including a newly founded Emory
College from 1839 to 1848 and the University of Mississippi from
1849 to 1856. After resigning from Ole Miss because of political
pressure, he lived briefly in Abbeville, Mississippi, before
becoming president of the University of South Carolina in 1858.
When the Civil War began in 1861, he returned to Mississippi,
where he supported the southern cause with his writings. His
nephew, General James Longstreet, served as one of the South's
principal military commanders, and his son-in-law, L.Q.C. Lamar,
organized the 19th Mississippi volunteer regiment and saw action
against Union General George McClellan in Virginia during the
North's peninsula campaign of 1862. Longstreet lived the latter
part of his life in Oxford, Mississippi, where he died on July
9, 1870. He was buried in St. Peter's Cemetery in Oxford.
In a review of Georgia Scenes in the Southern Literary Messenger
(March 1836), Edgar Allan Poe called Longstreet "a clever
fellow, imbued with a spirit of the truest humor, and endowed,
moreover, with an exquisitely discriminative and penetrating
understanding of character in general, and of Southern character
in particular." Looking to the future promised by Longstreet's
book, Poe called it "a sure omen of better days for the
literature of the South."
Although Longstreet wrote two other works of fiction and
numerous political tracts, he is best known for Georgia Scenes.
The scenes were originally published in Georgia newspapers,
mainly the States Rights Sentinel, which Longstreet owned and
edited. The stories, which often come with a moral lesson,
satirize all classes of characters in early nineteenth-century
Georgia, and they carry an anti-Jacksonion Democracy agenda.
