Foreword
Whatever revisions or new research may reveal in the constant unfolding of Southern history, the name of Frank Lawrence Owsley will most assuredly be imprinted in the bibliography of the region. Even without counting his innumerable articles and essays, his position as a preeminent writer of Southern history is secured by three monumental books: State Rights in the Confederacy, King Cotton Diplomacy, and Plain Folk of the Old South.
Frank Owsley grew up in southern Alabama near Montgomery. Few or no historians in those years had written about the area except in the context of elementary local and provincial histories. None had viewed the area in broader concepts or examined its history buried in undiscovered or ignored records. Sequestered geographically, and to a large extent intellectually, George Petrie in Auburn, Alabama, was able to inspire a small group of budding historians who in time were to have a prominent impact on the exploration of their region's past. Among them were A. B. Moore, H. C. Nixon, and Frank L. Owsley, all of them rural Alabama lads. As a student of Professor Petrie's in the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (now Auburn University), Owsley was set upon the course of becoming an enquiring and productive historian.
