Tento autor je známy popularizáciou plantážneho žánru južanskej literatúry, ktorý vykresľuje idealizovanú verziu života pred občianskou vojnou. Jeho diela často zobrazujú pokojné scény s údajne spokojnými otrokmi pracujúcimi pre milujúcich pánov a ich rodiny. Skrze svoje poviedkové zbierky majstrovsky zachytáva náladu a štýl doby, pričom sa sústredí na nostalgické spomínanie a idealizované obrazy minulosti. Jeho písanie tak ponúka jedinečný pohľad na špecifickú literárnu tradíciu, ktorá sa snaží uchovať spomienku na predvojnový Juh.
