Beschreibung:
Rare Pulp fictional account of slavery romanticizing the Old South and plantion life of the slave Paul who is seduced by the white mistress Virginia. The author may NOT be Paul Hamilton Hayes and may actually be UNKNOWN. Paul Hamilton Hayes name appears in the book on the back of the contents page. Yellowing pages show age and are brittle. Set in Louisiana? The writer makes you believe he is Paul and he will never betray Virginia's true identity. Title page has hole worn through about 1 inch and contents page is detached from binding due to brittleness. Edges of front and back covers have chips and tears due to brittleness from age and condition of pulp paper. Overall condition is clean with no writing, underlining, highlighting, or visible abuse. "Summary: The Story of a Slave (1894) is presented as the autobiography of a slave named Paul, but in fact is believed to be a fictional account. The work was published anonymously and no author has since been identified. Paul was born in Alabama and learned to read and write as a child. When he was eighteen, he began to work as a field hand on a Choteaux family plantation. He later moved to another of his master's plantations to work as a house-boy. Here, he met and fell in love with his master's daughter, Virginia Choteaux. Soon, Virginia discovers she is pregnant, but before the lovers can arrange an escape, Virginia's unsuspecting parents arrange for her marriage to a young white man. The memoir concludes with news of Paul's former mistress's death, some years after the Civil War." This summary was written perhaps about an earlier publication of this book around 1894 published by Wesley, Elmore & Benson and this copy may be a later publication in paperback for the trade but is a rare pulp copy.
