The Smoked Yank is a novel written by Melvin Grigsby and published in 1888. The story is set in the American South during the Reconstruction era, and follows the experiences of a young Yankee soldier named Jack Benson. After being captured by Confederate soldiers, Benson is sold into slavery and forced to work on a tobacco plantation in Virginia. The novel explores themes of race, class, and identity as Benson struggles to survive in a world that is hostile to his Northern upbringing and values. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a fellow slave named Uncle Ben, a sympathetic plantation owner named Mr. Carter, and a group of rebel soldiers who are plotting a daring escape. Despite the challenges he faces, Benson remains determined to regain his freedom and return home to his family. The Smoked Yank is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and redemption that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
