Publisher's Synopsis

""Red Rock: A Chronicle of Reconstruction"" is a historical novel written by Thomas Nelson Page. The story is set in the aftermath of the American Civil War and follows the lives of two families in Virginia, one white and one black. The white family, the Doyles, are struggling to rebuild their plantation and their lives after the war. The black family, the Camerons, are former slaves who are now free but face many challenges in their new lives. The novel explores themes of race, class, and the struggle for power and control in the post-war South. The story is told through the eyes of a young Northern journalist who comes to Virginia to report on the Reconstruction efforts. As he becomes involved with both families, he begins to understand the complexities of the situation and the challenges facing both sides. The novel is a powerful portrayal of the difficulties of rebuilding a society torn apart by war and the ongoing struggle for equality and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
