Smith, Francis Hopkinson: Colonel Carter of Cartersville. v1. 2 Aug 2014
Francis Hopkinson Smith (October 23, 1838 – April 7, 1915) was a United States author, artist and engineer. He built the foundation for the Statue of Liberty, wrote many famous stories and received awards for his paintings.
Excerpt Its retired location and shabby entrance brought it quite within the colonel’s income, and as the rent was not payable in advance, and the landlord patient, he had surrounded himself not only with all the comforts but with many of the luxuries of a more pretentious home. In this he was assisted by his negro servant Chad,—an abbreviation of Nebuchadnezzar,—who was chambermaid, cook, butler, body-servant, and boots, and who by his marvelous tales of the magnificence of “de old fambly place in Caartersville” had established a credit among the shopkeepers on the avenue which would have been denied a much more solvent customer.
