Publisher's Synopsis

Northwood: Or Life North And South, Showing The True Character Of Both is a novel written by Sarah Josepha Buell Hale in 1852. The book explores the cultural differences between the North and South of the United States during the early 19th century. The story is set in the fictional town of Northwood, where the main character, Caroline, visits her Southern relatives and experiences their way of life. Through Caroline's eyes, the reader is exposed to the customs and traditions of both regions, including their attitudes towards slavery, education, and social hierarchy. The novel also touches on themes of family, love, and the struggle for acceptance in a divided nation. Overall, Northwood is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the cultural divide that existed in America during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
