Overview

Red Rock: A Chronicle of Reconstruction is a historical novel written by Thomas Nelson Page. Set in the aftermath of the American Civil War, the story takes place in the fictional Virginia town of Red Rock, which has been devastated by the conflict. The novel follows the lives of several characters as they navigate the challenges of Reconstruction, including racial tensions, political corruption, and economic upheaval.The main character, Carteret, is a wealthy landowner who is determined to maintain his family's power and influence in the face of changing social and political conditions. He is opposed by Marse Chan, a former slave who has become a leader in the local African American community. Other key characters include Carteret's wife, who struggles to reconcile her loyalty to her husband with her growing sympathy for the plight of the former slaves, and a young Northern journalist who comes to Red Rock to report on the Reconstruction efforts.Through the experiences of these characters, Page explores the complex issues of race, class, and power that shaped the Reconstruction era. He also provides a vivid portrait of life in the post-war South, including the challenges faced by both black and white residents as they tried to rebuild their communities and their lives.Overall, Red Rock: A Chronicle of Reconstruction is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a compelling glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
