The collection is generally considered the best of Simms's short fiction. \u003ci\u003eThe Wigwam and the Cabin\u003c\/i\u003e represents frontier humor, particularly the stories Grayling; or 'Murder Will Out, ' The Two Camps: A Legend of the Old North State, The Lazy Crow; A Story of the Cornfield, and Caloya: or, The Loves of the Driver. Not only do these stories draw upon the familiar subject matter of frontier humor, but they also contain stock frontier humor characters and a box narrative frame--a device that provides a cultured gentleman (outsider) who establishes the setting where an inner story is given in frontier vernacular; such a frame enables the humorist to enjoy the uneducated rustic characters while maintaining their own cultural and social distance from such figures. Other notable stories in the collection highlight Simms's, at times, progressive rendering of Native American characters, including \u003ci\u003eOakatibbe, or the Choctaw Sampson, Jocassee. A Cherokee Legend, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Arm-Chair of Tustenuggee. A Tradition of the Catawba.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Gilmore Simms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611170648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611170641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.15d","brand":"William Gilmore Simms","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125016981759,"sku":"9781611170641","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff6cc7d1-900a-4941-967e-8e245f16c879.jpg?v=1687440148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wigwam-and-the-cabin-william-gilmore-simms-9781611170641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
