Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Man at Rossmere
In the swamp lands of Arkansas and Louisiana, in the Piney Hills of Mississippi, and elsewhere in the South, one may travel many a day and not lose sight of these petrified neighborhoods where things came to a standstill, socially, long ago, and where a week-old newspaper is the freshest link between a world where people do and dare and a world where they endure and remember; places where mail-day punctuates the week with a single period, and where the fluctuations of the cotton market and the Liverpool quotations out-rank Wall Street and the Signal Service report; places, in short, where men with brawn and brain to make them the peers of any man are held in bondage by the iron god Circumstance, until the possibilities of their lives are reduced to zero.
