Birthright (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419110146)

Birthright is a novel written by T. S. Stribling. The story is set in the American South during the early 20th century and follows the life of a young man named Peter Grimm. Peter is the son of a wealthy plantation owner who is determined to preserve his family's legacy and the traditions of the South. However, Peter has different ideas about the future and wants to break away from his family's expectations.The novel explores themes of race, class, and identity as Peter navigates his way through a changing society. He falls in love with a young woman named Lucy, who comes from a poor family, and their relationship challenges the social norms of the time. Peter also becomes involved in the civil rights movement and fights against the injustices faced by African Americans in the South.As Peter struggles to find his place in the world, he must confront his own prejudices and biases, and learn to accept others for who they are. Birthright is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the complex social and political landscape of the American South during a time of great change.On the heels of this came the news that Peter Siner meant to take advantage of Tump's arrest and marry Cissie Dildine. Old Parson Ranson was responsible for the spread of this last rumor. He had fumbled badly in his effort to hold Peter's secret. Not once, but many times, always guarded by a pledge of secrecy, had he revealed the approaching wedding. When pressed for a date, the old negro said he was ""not at lib'ty to tell.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
