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.

The Veteran and His Pipe By Albion W. Tourgee

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1880 Edition.

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
