About this ebook
This 1879 novel, based on the author's own experiences, made a significant contribution to American literature in its unvarnished presentation of the South during Reconstruction. When Comfort Servosse, an ex-Union soldier, moves his family south to aid in Reconstruction efforts, he finds an unrepentant racism that will imperil his dreams and threaten his very life.
