Authentic enough for a James? That brings to mind a question I have 
had for some time that maybe James (or some other student of the old 
south) can answer.
I saw the movie "Ride With The Devil", (1860-65, Missouri - Kansas 
guerilla war) and really wondered about the speech patterns, not the 
accents but how they put their sentences together.
Anyway if you saw the movie (it's out on DVD) and had an opinion on 
the way they talked I'd be interested in hearing about it.
FWIW I liked the movie...
