Book Description:
|
Written in 1905, this is a compelling tale of the post-Civil War South's degeneration into a region awash with virulent racist practices against African Americans: segregation, lynchings, disenfranchisement, convict-labor exploitation, and endemic violent repression. The events are powerfully depicted from the point of view of a philanthropic but unreliable southern white colonel.
