"The Dixie Book of Days" by Matthew Page Andrews is a collection of literary quotations written in the early 20th century. This work compiles a diverse selection of prose and poetry that reflects the history and culture of the Southern United States, offering insights into events and figures significant to the region. The book aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of Southern expression and its impact on American literature and history. The opening of the book includes a preface and introduction by the author, outlining the purpose and scope of the collection. Andrews highlights the unique character of Southern writers, who often viewed literary production as a recreational pursuit rather than a professional ambition.

The initial chapters set the tone for the subsequent reflections on the South, illustrating both its romantic nostalgia and historical significance.
