About This Item
New York, Doubleday, Page & Co., 1904. First edition. Octavo (8" x 5.5"), 340 pages, with frontis & 2 plates. Publisher's pale green cloth lettered in black & decorated in black & yellow depicting an ear of corn.
Binding moderately soiled particularly at the base of the spine, slight edge wear, corners bruised, top edge of the text block dusty, foxing mostly at pastedowns & endpapers, otherwise very good.
McCants was born & raised in Ninety Six, South Carolina in 1865. A graduate of The Citadel, he was an educator as well as an author & was inducted posthumously into the South Carolina Academy of Authors in 1996. As noted in a contemporary review (NYT, May 7, 1904), In the Red Hills is:
"Only another weaving of the old material of the Southern novelist. The time after the war, the old planter stock finding its legs again, the low-bred money lender, the foolish negro, the idle "po' white trash" — and yet Mr. McCants's story is not the average story of its kind. It is better than most, cheerfuller than most, seems to have laid hold of points of common sense which others have missed."
