Author's Preface
Dear to the hearts of the Southerners, young and old, is the vanishing type conspicuous in Eneas of this record; and as in a sidelight herein are seen the Southerners themselves, kind of heart, tolerant and appreciative of the humor and pathos of the negro's life. Eneas would have been arrested in any country other than the South. In the South he could have traveled his life out as the guest of his white folks.
Is the story true? Everybody says it is.
Eneas Africanus
Extract from the Atlanta Constitution of October 12, 1872
WHO HAS THIS CUP?
MAJOR GEORGE E. TOMMEY ADVERTISES FOR HIS SILVER CUP.
Editor Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.

The negro's name was Eneas, a small, grey-haired old fellow and very talkative. The unexpected movement of our army after the battle of Resaca, placed my stock farm in line of the Federal advance and exposed my family to capture. My command, Tommey's Legion, passing within five miles of the place, I was enabled to give them warning, and they hurriedly boarded the last south-bound train. They reached Jefferson County safely but without any baggage, as they did not have time to move a trunk. An effort was made to save the family silver, much of it very old and highly prized, especially a silver cup known in the family as the Bride's Cup
for some six or eight generations and bearing the inscription:
"Ye bryde whose lippes kysse myne
And taste ye water an no wyne
Shall happy live an hersel see
