Simms paints a vivid picture of life in the American South during this tumultuous time, and his writing is both lyrical and powerful.Overall, ""Richard Hurdis V2"" is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and political intrigue that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.The murderer hurried homewards when this dark conference was ended. The affair in which he had acted so principal, yet secondary a part, had exercised a less obvious influence upon him than upon the yet baser person who had egged him on to the deed. There was no such revulsion of feeling in his bosom, as in that of John Hurdis. Endowed with greater nerve at first, and rendered obtuse from habit and education, the nicer sensibilities----the keener apprehensions of the mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
