Description

"Pioneers of the Old South," by Mary Johnston, is a fascinating trip through the early history of the American South. The work of literature offers a rich tapestry of persons who laid the path for the region's growth, detailing their lives, struggles, hardships, and accomplishments. Mary Johnston, a well-known historical fiction novelist, writes a compelling story which transports readers to the formative years of the Old South. She introduces readers to a wide array of characters who faced hardships like encounters with Native American populations, the harshness of the frontier, and the intricacies of society connections through well researched stories and compelling storytelling. The pages of the book unfold like a living tableau, documenting interactions between European settlers and indigenous populations, the building of plantations, and the development of Southern civilization. Johnston's attention to historical accuracy and ability to conjure a feeling of time and location lend authenticity to the story.

Author Biography:

Mary Johnston (November 21, 1870 - May 9, 1936) was a Virginia novelist and women's rights activist. During her writing career, she was one of America's best-selling authors, and three of her novels were made into silent pictures. Johnston was also a member of the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia, where she used her literary abilities and celebrity to bring attention to the cause of women's suffrage in Virginia. Mary Johnston was born in the small village of Buchanan, Virginia, the eldest child of American Civil War hero John William Johnston and Elizabeth Dixon Alexander Johnston. She was schooled at home by family and tutors due to her recurrent illness. She grew up with a passion for literature and was financially secure enough to devote her time to writing.
