Because of this book he is remembered most often as a literary figure. Longstreet, however, only dabbled in fiction writing, just as he dabbled in many other careers, including roles as a lawyer, judge, state senator, newspaper editor, minister, political propagandist, and college president." - "Augustus Baldwin Longstreet (1790-1870)."

"Flannery O'Connor is considered one of America's greatest fiction writers and one of the strongest apologists for Roman Catholicism in the twentieth century. Born of the marriage of two of Georgia's oldest Catholic families, O'Connor was a devout believer whose small but impressive body of fiction presents the soul's struggle with what she called the 'stinking mad shadow of Jesus' ... In 1992 O'Connor was inducted as an inaugural honoree into Georgia Women of Achievement, and in 2000 she was inducted as a charter member into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame." - "Flannery O'Connor." New Georgia Encyclopedia. http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org (Retrieved August 25, 2008)
