About this ebook

"The Forged Note" is a semi-autobiographical novel that shows how Oscar Micheaux's property as a real-life Black pioneer in Dakota was acquired through forgery by his father-in-law, through the life-story of the protagonist, Sidney Wyeth. However, in the world of fiction there is still a possibility of love. Mildred awaits Sidney's return even after the revelation of the dark secret that tore them asunder. Will the two star-crossed lovers ever meet again? Keep reading!
Excerpt:
"He sat at a desk in the small office he had taken. Before him were papers and bills—unpaid—and letters too, he had not opened, while to one side were others he had read, and had typed replies thereto. He had paused in his work, and was gazing stupidly at the litter before him. His name was Sidney Wyeth, and his home was away off in the great northwest, in a strip of territory known as the Rosebud Country. As we meet him now, however, he is located on the fifth floor of an office building, slightly toward the outskirts of the business district of one of our great American cities. He is by profession an author, which might explain his presence at a desk. It happens, however, that he is not there this time as a weaver of dreams, but attending to matter in connection with the circulation of his work, for he is his own publisher..."

Author

Oscar Micheaux

Oscar Micheaux (1884-1951) was an African American film director and author. Born on a farm in Metropolis, Illinois, Micheaux was raised in a family of thirteen children. His father, born in Kentucky, was a former slave. At seventeen, he moved to Chicago with his older brother and took jobs at the local stockyards and steel mills. After opening a shoeshine stand and finding a good job as a Pullman porter, he moved to South Dakota to work the land as a homesteader, an experience that would inspire several of his works in literature and film. Left by his first wife, whose family took his money and property from him while he was away on business, Micheaux was forced to reinvent himself once again. His first major publication as a writer was The Conquest: The Story of a Negro Pioneer (1913), a semi-autobiographical novel. When a production deal for his novel The Homesteader (1917) failed to work out, Micheaux started his own company and produced the film himself. The Homesteader (1919), now lost, was a pioneering silent film that launched Micheaux’s storied career. He would go on to produce over forty films, entertaining audiences both at home and abroad while paving the way for other Black filmmakers and storytellers to follow in his footsteps. Despite his success and reputation, Micheaux was largely ignored by white audiences and critics and only received recognition for his lofty achievement several decades after his death.
