Description

Former moonshiner Pole Baker clashes with Captain Duncan's return to a rural Southern plantation, testing honour, courage, and community loyalty. Harben's tale of rivalry and moral grit in a tightly knit town. Spoken as when a fierce reputation still has to prove what a man is worth.

Author

William Harben (1858–1919) mapped the emotional weather of rural Georgia — novels of land, loyalty, and the hard bargains of family life in a changing South. He wrote with an insider's affection for mountain and plantation communities, and with a clear eye for rivalry, redemption, and the cost of pride.
