First sentence: Smoke was curling languidly from the old pipe Gunner Jessie Blake puffed upon as he reclined in an easy chair in the dimly lit drawing room of his mansion amid the pines, "Woodley-on-the-Sound", where the aged Confederate veteran, survivor of both bombardments of nearby Fort fisher in the North-South war, was entertaining two young veterans of the late World war.
Description: First authentic account of the Wilmington Revolution of 1898, which resulted in the elimination of the Negro as a political factor in Wilmington and North Carolina and which led to the disenfranchisement of the race throughout the South through the instrumentality of the "Grandfather Clause."
