The Jessamines: A New Story Of The Old South is a novel written by Sallie H. Broyles, set in the American South during the 19th century. The story revolves around the Jessamine family, who are wealthy plantation owners in Georgia. The family's matriarch, Miss Emmaline, is a strong-willed woman who is determined to keep her family together and maintain their social status in the face of adversity. The novel follows the lives of her children, grandchildren, and the slaves who work on their plantation, as they navigate the challenges of life in the antebellum South. The book explores themes of family, love, loyalty, and the complex power dynamics between slave owners and their slaves. It is a poignant and thought-provoking look at a tumultuous period in American history, told through the eyes of a family struggling to hold onto their way of life amidst the sweeping changes of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
