This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Frank was born on February 22, 1857 in Charleston, South Carolina, United States and was the son of Valentine Stanton, a printer, and Catherine Rebecca (Parry) Stanton.
His formal education was interrupted by the death of his father.
At the age of twelve he moved to Savannah, Georgia, with his family and became copy-boy on the Savannah Morning News, edited by William Tappan Thompson. His verses, which he had begun writing at the age of eleven ("To Lizzie"), attracted the attention of Joel Chandler Harris, then a member of the editorial staff, who encouraged him to write. He served as reporter and feature writer until 1887, when he became owner and editor of the weekly Smithville News of Smithville, Georgia. He continued to write verses that were copied in many newspapers.
A year later he joined the staff of the Tribune of Rome, published in Rome, Georgia, under the editorship of John Temple Graves, and a year after that, persuaded by Joel Chandler Harris, went to the Atlanta Constitution. After serving as reporter and feature writer for a short time, he began his "Just from Georgia" column, one of the first American newspaper columns, to which for nearly forty years he contributed daily anecdotes, brief essays, and poems, many of them in negro and Georgia cracker dialects.
He was honored at home by his appointment on February 22, 1925, as poet laureate of Georgia, and abroad by the translation of his poems (as songs) into many languages. Ethelbert Woodbridge Nevin, Carrie Jacobs Bond, and Edward Kneisel set some of his songs to music; his "Georgia Land" is a sort of unofficial state song. Since he wrote one or more poems every day for nearly forty years, they were naturally of unequal merit. But he wrote a surprisingly large number of good ones.
He died on January 7, 1927, after an illness of a few weeks.

His philosophy was a simple, idealistic one, and he wrote unaffectedly about his own thoughts and feelings.
On January 15, 1887, he married Leona Jossey, who inspired some of his best poems and was a gifted reader of his poetry. He was survived by his wife and three children.
