1908. The Leopard's Spots is the statement in historical outline of
the conditions from the enfranchisement of the Negro to his
disenfranchisement. The book begins: On the field of Appomattox
General Lee was waiting the return of a courier. His handsome face
was clouded by the deepening shadows of defeat. Rumors of surrender
had spread like wildfire, and the ranks of his once invincible army
were breaking into chaos. Suddenly the measured tread of a brigade
was heard marching into action, every movement quick with the
perfect discipline, the fire, and the passion of the first days of
the triumphant Confederacy. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
1907. The Traitor closes The Trilogy of Reconstruction, which also
includes The Leopard's Spots and The Clansman. The Clansman ended
with the political triumph of the Klu Klux Klan, or Invisible
Empire. The story of The Traitor opens with the order of
dissolution by General Forest and is set in the atmosphere of the
fierce neighborhood feuds which marked the Klan's downfall in the
Piedmont region of the South. See other titles by this author

1903. The American newspaperman and novelist begins The Sherrods:
Through the soft summer night came the sounds of the silence that
is heard only when nature sleeps, imperceptible except as one feels
it behind the breath he draws or perhaps realizes it in the touch
of an unexpected branch or flower. The stillness of a silence that
is not silent; a stillness so dead that the croaking of frogs, the
chirping of crickets, the barking of dogs, the hooting of owls, the
rustling of leaves are not heard, although the air is heavy with
those voices of the night-the stillness of a night in the country.
All human activity apparently at an end, all sign of life lost in
somber shadows. The ceaseless croaking, the chirping, the hooting,
the rustling themselves make up this unspeakable silence-this
sweet, unconscious solitude. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
1902. The book begins: It was a perfect day of the kind that Mr.
Lowell has celebrated in song-a day in June. It was, moreover, a
day glorified even beyond Mr. Lowell's imagining, by the
incomparable climate of southside Virginia. A young man of perhaps
seven and twenty, came walking with vigor down the narrow roadway,
swinging a stick which he had paused by the wayside to cut. The
road ran at this point through a luxuriantly growing woodland, with
borders of tangled undergrowth and flowers on either side, and with
an orchestra of bird performers all around.
1908. The Leopard's Spots is the statement in historical outline of
the conditions from the enfranchisement of the Negro to his
disenfranchisement. The book begins: On the field of Appomattox
General Lee was waiting the return of a courier. His handsome face
was clouded by the deepening shadows of defeat. Rumors of surrender
had spread like wildfire, and the ranks of his once invincible army
were breaking into chaos. Suddenly the measured tread of a brigade
was heard marching into action, every movement quick with the
perfect discipline, the fire, and the passion of the first days of
