The Marrow of Tradition is a novel written by Charles W. Chesnutt and published in 1901. The story is set in the fictional town of Wellington, North Carolina, during the late 19th century, and explores the themes of racism, white supremacy, and the struggle for civil rights. The novel follows the lives of several characters, including Dr. William Miller, a black physician who faces discrimination and harassment from the white community, and Major Carteret, a white newspaper editor who supports segregation and the suppression of black people. The plot revolves around the events that occur after a black man is lynched in the town, and how the different characters react to the situation. The Marrow of Tradition is considered an important work of African American literature and a powerful critique of the Jim Crow era. It is also a vivid portrayal of the social and political realities of the time, and a testament to the resilience and strength of the black community in the face of adversity.A party of Northern visitors had been staying for several days at the St. James Hotel. The gentlemen of the party were concerned in a projected cotton mill, while the ladies were much interested in the study of social conditions, and especially in the negro problem. As soon as their desire for information became known, they were taken courteously under the wing of prominent citizens and their wives, who gave them, at elaborate luncheons, the Southern white man's views of the negro, sighing sentimentally over the disappearance of the good old negro of before the war, and gravely deploring the degeneracy of his descendants.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
