Ogeechee Cross-Firings is a novel written by Richard Malcolm Johnston and published in 1889. The story is set in the American South during the Reconstruction era, a time of great social and political upheaval. The novel follows the lives of several characters, including a young schoolteacher named Miss Lou, a wealthy plantation owner named Mr. Tomlinson, and a group of freed slaves who are struggling to adapt to their new lives.As the story unfolds, the characters become embroiled in a series of conflicts and misunderstandings, some of which are based on racial tensions and others on class differences. Johnston uses these conflicts to explore themes of identity, prejudice, and the struggle for power and control in a changing society.Throughout the novel, Johnston employs a vivid and descriptive writing style that brings the characters and settings to life. He also incorporates elements of humor and satire, poking fun at the foibles and pretensions of his characters.Despite its focus on a specific historical period and region, Ogeechee Cross-Firings remains relevant today as a commentary on the ongoing struggle for equality and justice in America. It is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers insights into the complexities of human nature and the challenges of navigating a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
