Publisher's Synopsis
How This Story Ends The next morning, as Joe Maxwell was loitering around the printing-office, talking to the editor, Butterfly came galloping up, ridden by Mink, who was no longer a runaway. "I seed you put 'im out in de swamp dar, Mars' Joe, an' den I seed some er de yuther niggers gwine dar long wid dem Yankee mens, an' I say ter myse'f dat I better go dar an' git 'im; so I tuck 'im down on de river, an' here he is. He mayn't be ez fatez he wuz, but he des ez game ez he yever is been." It happened that Mink became one of the tenants on the plantation, and after a while he bought a little farm of his own, and prospered and thrived. It can not be spun out here and now so as to show the great changes that have been wrought-the healing of the wounds of war; the lifting up of a section from ruin and poverty to prosperity; the gradual uplifting of a lowly race. All these things can not be told of here. The fire burns low, and the tale is ended. Get Your Copy Now.
