A collection of thirty-six stories about the adventures of a wise rabbit and his animal and human friends.
Reconstruction in the South is a much studied and yet little
understood dark epoch in the region's history; in many areas it was
marked by such violence as to have been in all but name guerrilla
warfare. Death at Cross Plains is the history of one such clash,
and the story of one of its casualties--William Luke. Luke, born in
Ireland, was a former Canadian minister fleeing a checkered past
and perhaps seeking to redeem himself by service to the black
freedmen of northern Alabama. In 1869 he took a teaching post at
Talladega College, the only school for blacks in the area. Later
taking the position of schoolteacher to the black railroad workers
near Talladega, Luke found himself enmeshed in the web of racial
antagonisms, xenophobia, and partisan conflict rampant in much of
the South Death at Cross Plains follows the tragic course of
William Luke's life and death and vividly depicts the hatreds and
failures that plunged the South into its darkest days.
