Synopsis

The Banners of the Coast is a historical novel written by Archibald Hamilton Rutledge and published in 1908. The story is set in the late 18th century and follows the adventures of a young American named John Mayrant, who inherits a large estate in South Carolina. Mayrant becomes embroiled in a bitter feud with a neighboring family, the Duvals, and must navigate the complex political and social landscape of the time in order to protect his property and his honor.The novel is notable for its vivid depiction of life in the American South during this period, including the plantation system, the influence of European culture, and the tensions between different social classes. Rutledge's prose is rich and evocative, capturing the sights, sounds, and smells of the region in exquisite detail.At its heart, The Banners of the Coast is a tale of love and honor, as Mayrant finds himself torn between his obligations to his family and his growing feelings for a young woman named Hortense Rieppe. The novel is a gripping and engaging read, full of drama, romance, and suspense, and is sure to appeal to fans of historical fiction and Southern literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From out the secret mountain deeps my yearning soul was drawn, I flow through violet valleys, and by languorous leagues of lawn, In the beauty of the mountains in the dusk and in the dawn. There I saw the far blue mountains in the visionary west, Saw the mist upon the mountains in the opal evening west. Saw the clouds that labor for me oer the mountains misty crest. Then I journey through the midland where the cottons in the boll, Where the stalwart rustling corn-ranks, like an army past control, March down upon my margin where my waters softly roll. (O nce I saw my queenly City, when the foe had stormed the gate; Saw my proud, defenceless City, in the brutal hands of fate, And the land cried out for mercy on Columbia, desolate.) But the ocean ever calls me in a solemn undertone. Past the mountains, past the meadows where the waving willows shone, Past many a pine and cypress standing sentinel alone.
