New York: Dodd, Mead & Company. Very Good+. 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light dust-soiling to top of text block, spine a little darkened]. (pen and ink drawings) A novel themed around the post-slavery migration of African-Americans from the South to the North, focusing on a group of "plantation Negroes" whose way of life is upended when the precarious financial situation of their home plantation eventually leads to its sale. From the New York Times review: "The Negroes are torn between their loyalty to their feudal lord, their love of the slow-going ways of life on the plantation, and the inducements held out to them by friends who have gone North to Harlem." The author is further described in the review (and wouldn't you know it?) as "a Southern woman whose personal affection for unlettered, plantation Negroes is as apparent as her intimate knowledge of them." .
