The Marrow of Tradition (Illustrated)

- Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, The Marrow of Tradition is a gripping historical novel by African-American writer Charles W. Chesnutt. Based on the race riots that took place in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1898, the novel is a fictional account of the rise of the white supremacist movement. - Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published well over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of American literature and continues to be widely read and studied throughout the world.- This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
