Dorothy South is a novel by George Cary Eggleston that tells the story of a young woman named Dorothy who lives in Virginia just before the outbreak of the American Civil War. Dorothy is a beautiful and intelligent woman who is courted by several suitors, including a wealthy plantation owner and a dashing young soldier. As she navigates the complexities of love and society, Dorothy is forced to confront the harsh realities of the impending war and the toll it will take on her family and community. The novel offers a vivid portrayal of life in the antebellum South, with its intricate social hierarchies and deep-rooted traditions. At its heart, Dorothy South is a timeless love story that explores the timeless themes of passion, sacrifice, and the power of the human heart.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.
