This debut novel by Shelby Foote, a major Southern writer whose masterpiece may be the Civil War: A Narrative, introduces Hugh Bart, a farmer confronting life's problems in the postbellum South. Hugh's story is told by having a clever blend of rich language and flashbacks that bring alive Jordan County, Foote's fictional Mississippi Delta community. Many of the remarkable characters introduced here will become staples of Foote's future works. Highly praised both here and abroad, Foote's novels have been on bestseller lists in France and Italy. Whether writing historical narrative or novels, Shelby Foote evidently belongs to the first rank of American writers of the century.
