The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories of The Color Line

IN 1841 Douglass entered upon that epoch of his life which brought the hitherto obscure refugee prominently before the public, and in which his services as anti-slavery orator and reformer constitute his chief claim to enduring recollection. Millions of negroes whose lives had been far less bright than Douglass's had lived and died in slavery. Thousands of fugitives under assumed names were winning a precarious livelihood in the free States and trembling in constant fear of the slave-catcher.

The Marrow of Tradition is a novel written by Charles W. Chesnutt, first published in 1901. The novel is set in the fictional town of Wellington, North Carolina, during the period of the Reconstruction Era in the United States after the Civil War. The story follows the lives of several characters, both black and white, as they navigate the complex social and political landscape of the time. The central conflict of the novel revolves around the white supremacist attitudes and actions of the town's elite, who seek to maintain their power and privilege at the expense of the newly freed black population. The novel explores themes of racism, injustice, and the struggle for equality, as well as the complex relationships between individuals of different races and social classes. The Marrow of Tradition is considered a classic of African American literature and an important work of historical fiction, providing a vivid and nuanced portrayal of the Reconstruction Era and its aftermath.A party of Northern visitors had been staying for several days at the St. James Hotel. The gentlemen of the party were concerned in a projected cotton mill, while the ladies were much interested in the study of social conditions, and especially in the negro problem. As soon as their desire for information became known, they were taken courteously under the wing of prominent citizens and their wives, who gave them, at elaborate luncheons, the Southern white man's views of the negro, sighing sentimentally over the disappearance of the good old negro of before the war, and gravely deploring the degeneracy of his descendants.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A pioneer in the development of fiction giving voice to the African-American experience, Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1858-1932) found literary success with his "conjure tales" - vignettes from black folk life, recounted partially in the vernacular - and later with his "stories of the color line," which addressed more directly the problems of race in America.This outstanding, affordable volume presents a selection of the best of both conjure and color line tales. Ten stories include "The Goophered Grapevine," widely considered Chesnutt's best work, "Po' Sandy," "Sis' Becky's Pickaninny," "The Doll," "The Wife of His Youth," "Dave's Neckliss," "The Passing of Grandison," "A Matter of Principle, "The Sheriff's Children," and a wry look at the American intelligentsia, "Baxter's Procrustes."Brimming with wit, charm, and insight, these stories testify to the qualities that have earned Chesnutt an enduring place in American literature and have made his fiction required reading for scholars and students of African-American history and culture. This edition features an informative Introduction by African-American literature expert Joan Sherman that provides valuable background information on Chesnutt and his work.
