Subtitled "A Novel of the South During Reconstruction," this 1879
bestseller, by a participant in that great social experiment, is
the barely fictionalized account of the career of a Northern lawyer
in North Carolina after the Civil War. A champion of the poor and
landless of any race, and a keen observer of the dilemmas facing
uneducated Negroes in the postwar period, Tourge offers us an
important eyewitness account of one of the most tumultuous eras of
American history, one that continues to influence the course of the
American experiences of race and class to this day.
There had been rumors in the air, for some months, of a strangely
mysterious organization, said to be spreading over the Southern
States, which added to the usual intangibility of the secret
society an element of the grotesque superstition unmatched in the
history of any other.... Here and there throughout the South, by a
sort of sporadic instinct, bands of ghostly horsemen, in quaint and
horrible guise, appeared, and admonished the lazy and trifling of
the African race... -from "Chapter XXVII: A New Institution"

The Veteran and His Pipe By Albion W. Tourgee
It's sunset in rural North Carolina just after the Civil War.
Lily's parents are away when an anonymous note warns that the Klan
intends to kill her father that very night. To rescue him, Lily
must ride her father's thoroughbred stallion on the same roads over
which a hundred Klansmen from three counties are traveling. That's
Lily's brave ride. Review: "The night ride of young Lily Servosse
is one of the finest and most thrilling incidents that has ever
been told in history or romance."-San Francisco Chronicle
