We refer to the swamp region of Georgia and the Carolinas, where the lingo of the rice-field and the sea-island negroes is _sui generis_, and where myths and fanciful stories, often repeated before the war, and now seldom heard save during the gayer moods of the old plantation darkies, materially differ from those narrated by the sable dwellers in the interior.

Who acts: We · What happens: refer, repeat, hear, save, differ, narrate · To what, where: myths
