 We're pleased to introduce James Street
James Howell Street was a newspaper reporter, editor, minister, farmer, and author. He thought of himself as a craftsman and a Southern storyteller. Nearly all his novels were best sellers and were translated into many languages. Three of his books, The Biscuit Eater, Good-bye, My Lady and Tap Roots were made into movies.
Street wrote novels, short stories and articles where his experiences as a journalist and his social conscience sometimes lead to biting analyses of the prejudices he observed in the south. He is well known for his boy-and-dog stories and the Dabney family saga, a series which follows 100 years of American history through the lens of one southern family.

The Dabney family saga begins in 1795 with Oh Promised Land where Sam'l Dabney and his sister Honoria are pioneers who leave Georgia and head for the Louisiana Territory.

His son Hoab leads a local rebellion against the Confederacy, a tale based on real but little known events of the "Free State of Jones" in Mississippi. This story shows a different, but no less valid, side of the south from the better known view portrayed in books like Gone With the Wind.

By Valour and Arms brings our saga into the Civil War and the battle for Vicksburg. It dives into the true drama of the Confederate ironclad Arkansas and the Union ship Queen of the West. This is history as it happened, not the dry meager words found in textbooks. Scoundrels abound but so do those who prove that there always will be honor, decency, and dignity for people who are willing to fight for them.
We will soon be publishing the last two books in this exciting saga that explores the complex southern issues of honor and race, Tomorrow We Reap, and Mingo Dabney, as well as other thought provoking and well loved tales, including Street's two boy-and-dog stories, The Biscuit Eater and Good-bye, My Lady.
