Excerpt from Red Blood and Blue
The electric whir of fifty wings; the brown covey's level flight, as a charge of canister shot; a flash from a quickly raised gun, and then a tanned, sturdily-stepping boy, after having noted where the flushed quails had sunk again into the yellow sedge, made his way to his spoil, which, with one last tremor, was lying on the grass.
The boy picked up the bird, holding it in his palm and inspecting its plump beauty, the gleam of the hunter in his eyes.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the life and social transformation of young Andrew Outcault during the post-Reconstruction era in the American South. The author positions Andrew's coming-of-age story within the broader socio-historical context of class conflict, racial tension, and the slow emergence of new economic structures. Outcault's struggle for self-respect and agency, alongside his forbidden love for Victoria Torrance, a member of the landed gentry, is representative of the era's tumultuous clash between the Old South and the New. Andrew's journey is also a deeply personal story that explores the fundamental human conflicts of pride, societal pressure, guilt, and love. In a time of flux and transition, Andrew finds himself caught between the traditions of his family and the irresistible pull of progress, ultimately wrestling with the same questions of identity, honor, and masculinity that all young men face.
