Synopsis
Excerpt from The Colonel's Story
As I write of the Colonel, he seems to stand before me: handsome, deferential, and with a certain repose of bearing, ever the hall-mark of a gentleman.
He was wont to say of himself, I am like a weather-beaten old oak: of small use in the landscape, but with a sheltering arm still, and, please God, a sound heart.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published over a century ago, recalls the author's reminiscences of life in the American South before and after the Civil War within one plantation household. It follows how the author, known as 'The Colonel', came to be taken in by the Berkeley family on their plantation after losing his parents and becoming acquainted through his uncle, and follows him through his friendships and relationships with the different family members. We watch as he grows fond of the land and the people who inhabit it. The book delves into themes of tradition, duty, honor, kindness and community. By looking through the lens of one man's experience, the author offers the reader a glimpse into a bygone era, shedding light on the complexities of race and class through the struggles and triumphs of those living in the American South.
