Alice Walworth Graham

4.9/5 (12933 ratings)

Description:In 1871, with carpetbaggers overrunning the South, and with most of the men either broken in spirit or dead in battle, women like Louise rose up to give new strength to the vanquished land. Her husband had been one of those who died, leaving her with little Tommy. Her brother had been badly crippled at Shiloh and her father was too old to take up the cudgels again. Louise was faced with the problem of how to hang on to the big house in Natchez and the lovely plantation at Indigo Bend. She was a strong woman and a good one, but at first she was appalled by the loneliness of the plantation, by the bleakness of the house, and by the prospect of the overwhelming task she had set for herself. But gradually she began to see beauty in the woods and fields and swamps of Indigo, and to make friends with the people who lived around her. She even befriended the two children of Josh Sanders, the Yankee who owned a neighboring plantation and who held the mortgage on Indigo.So begins this turbulent story of love torn by divided allegiances - a story of rare courage, full of the sights and sounds and smells of plantation life, told with humor and understanding and written from a deep knowledge of the people and the times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
