Hudson Strode

Hudson Strode (October 31, 1892 – September 22, 1976) was an author and professor of creative writing at the University of Alabama.

His creative writing classes gained international fame for the literary successes achieved by his students.

[1] Strode was born in Cairo, Illinois, but moved to Demopolis, Alabama at the age of twelve.

Strode not only attempts to sanctify Davis but also the Confederate point of view, and this study should be relished by those vigorously sympathetic with the Lost Cause.

[3]According to one commentator, Strode's views on the American Civil War were so pro-Confederate that they approach being Neo-Confederate in nature.
