Old Mark Langston: A Tale Of Duke�������s Creek is a novel written by Richard Malcolm Johnston. The story is set in the southern United States, specifically in a small rural community called Duke's Creek. The main character, Mark Langston, is an elderly man who has spent his entire life in Duke's Creek. He is known for his wisdom, kindness, and strong sense of morality. The story follows Langston as he reflects on his life and the changes that have occurred in Duke's Creek over the years. He remembers the old days when the community was tight-knit and everyone knew each other. However, as time passed, the town grew and new people moved in, changing the dynamic of the community. Despite the changes, Langston remains a respected member of the community and is called upon to mediate disputes and offer advice to those in need. He also has a close relationship with a young boy named Tom, who he teaches valuable life lessons to. As the story progresses, Langston's health begins to decline, and he knows that his time is limited. He begins to make preparations for his eventual passing, including writing letters to loved ones and making arrangements for his funeral. Old Mark Langston: A Tale Of Duke�������s Creek is a heartwarming and poignant story that explores themes of community, aging, and the passage of time. It is a tribute to the simple, honest life of rural America and the wisdom of those who have lived it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
