Old Squire: The Romance Of A Black Virginian is a novel written by B. K. Benson. The story revolves around the life of an old black man named Squire, who was born into slavery and later freed after the Civil War. The book is set in Virginia, and it portrays the struggles and challenges faced by Squire as he tries to build a life for himself and his family in a society that is still deeply divided by race.The novel is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different phase of Squire's life. The first part is set during his childhood and teenage years, when he is still a slave. The second part covers the period after the Civil War, when Squire is freed and tries to make a living as a farmer. The third and final part of the novel is set in the early 20th century, when Squire is an old man and his family is facing new challenges and changes.Throughout the book, Benson explores themes such as race, identity, family, and community. He also portrays the complexities of life in the South during the Reconstruction era, when the region was still reeling from the aftermath of the Civil War and struggling to rebuild.Overall, Old Squire: The Romance Of A Black Virginian is a powerful and poignant novel that offers a unique perspective on the history of the South and the experiences of African Americans during a tumultuous period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
