The Jubilee Girl is a novel by Arthur Preston Hankins that tells the story of a young woman named Jubilee who finds herself torn between two worlds. Jubilee is a mixed-race woman who is trying to find her place in a society that is divided by race and class. She is the daughter of a white plantation owner and a black slave, and she struggles to reconcile her privileged upbringing with her African American heritage. As Jubilee grows up, she becomes increasingly aware of the injustices that surround her. She witnesses the brutal treatment of slaves on her father's plantation and the discrimination faced by African Americans in society. She also falls in love with a young man named Lije, who is a member of the Underground Railroad. Jubilee's journey takes her from the plantation to the city, where she becomes involved in the abolitionist movement. She risks her life to help slaves escape to freedom, and she becomes a symbol of hope for those who are oppressed. However, her actions also put her in danger, and she must navigate a world that is filled with violence and hatred. The Jubilee Girl is a powerful story of love, courage, and the fight for freedom. It explores themes of race, identity, and social justice, and it is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the history of slavery and the struggle for civil rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The road wound ever upward through pines and spruce and several varieties of oak. Some of the latter were straight, some sprawling, all massive. Now and then a break in the timber revealed wooded hills beyond green pasture lands, and other hills covered with dense growths of buckhorn and manzanita. Poison oak grew everywhere, and, at this time of year-early spring-was most prolific, most beautiful in its dark rich green, most poisonous.

Spring was manifest in the vast big-timber country of Mendocino County. "Uncle" Sebastian Burris felt the moist warmth of it oozing from the slowly drying road as he trudged along. The smell of it emanated from the white, pale-yellow, and pink fungi that flourished on the soaked and ancient logs along the way. He heard the voice of it in the soft murmuring of the South Fork of the Eel, which went twinkling down Bear Valley through firs and redwoods straight as telegraph poles; in the caress of the soft south wind soughing in the tree-tops. Chipmunks and gray squirrels darted across his path.
