Dorothy South is a novel written by George Cary Eggleston, which tells a love story that takes place in Virginia just before the Civil War. The book follows the life of Dorothy South, a young woman who is the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner. Dorothy falls in love with a young man named Roger Fairfax, who is also from a wealthy family. However, their love is put to the test when the Civil War breaks out and their families are divided by their loyalties to the North and the South. Despite the challenges they face, Dorothy and Roger remain committed to each other and their love endures throughout the war. The book provides a vivid portrayal of life in the South before the Civil War and the impact that the war had on families and communities. It is a touching and emotional story of love, loyalty, and perseverance in the face of adversity.1902. The book begins: It was a perfect day of the kind that Mr. Lowell has celebrated in song-a day in June. It was, moreover, a day glorified even beyond Mr. Lowell's imagining, by the incomparable climate of southside Virginia. A young man of perhaps seven and twenty, came walking with vigor down the narrow roadway, swinging a stick which he had paused by the wayside to cut. The road ran at this point through a luxuriantly growing woodland, with borders of tangled undergrowth and flowers on either side, and with an orchestra of bird performers all around.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
