Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin's 1946 autobiography The Making of a
Southerner is considered a classic testament of a white
southerner's commitment to racial justice in a culture where little
was to be found. Lumpkin's unpublished novel Eli Hill, which was
discovered in Lumpkin's papers after her death, contributes to the
same struggle by imaginatively re-creating a historical figure and
a moment in the violent white resistance to Reconstruction. Born to
enslaved parents in York County, South Carolina, Elias Hill
(1819-1872) learned to read and write and became a popular Baptist
minister. Owing to his influence, Hill was one of many victims of a
series of vicious attacks by the Ku Klux Klan. After testifying
before a congressional committee that emigration was the only
solution, Hill and 135 other formerly enslaved people emigrated to
Liberia. Lumpkin had trained as a sociologist and historian to use
archival sources and data in arguing for socioeconomic change. In
her autobiography, she uses the lens of an individual life, her
own, to understand how racism was inculcated in white children and
how they could free themselves from its grip. With Eli Hill, she
turns to imagination, informed by archival research, to put an
African American man at the center of a story about Reconstruction.
In curating this important work of historical recovery for use in
the classroom, Bruce Baker and Jacquelyn Dowd Hall have included
the full text of the original manuscript and an introduction that
contextualizes the novel in both its historical setting and its
creation.
