About This Book
Edwards? story is one of a faithful slave retainer who searches for his old master for years during the Reconstruction period, uninterested in freedom and concerned only to serve his master. It is an early twentieth-century picaresque retelling of popular antebellum pro-slavery fiction portraying contented and faithful slaves. As such, it continues the pro-slavery narrative tradition into the world of post-World War I popular fiction.
