Blood Is Thicker Than Water: A Few Days Among Our Southern Brethren is a book written by Henry M. Field. It is a non-fiction work that explores the social and cultural differences between the Northern and Southern United States during the mid-19th century. The author, who was a Northern abolitionist, travels through the Southern states and observes the lifestyles and beliefs of the people there. He discusses topics such as slavery, religion, and politics, and provides insights into the Southern mindset. Field’s observations are often critical of the Southern way of life, but he also acknowledges the complexity of the issues at hand. The title of the book comes from the idea that family ties and loyalties are stronger than any political or social differences. Overall, Blood Is Thicker Than Water provides a historical perspective on the tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
