Extractions: Contemporary critics, who often missed the subtle use of protest in the stories, applauded "The Conjure Woman" but became disenchanted with Chesnutt when he began to treat taboo themes such as miscegenation and racial hatred, in the "Wife of his youth and Other Stories of the Color Line," his second collection of short stories, Chesnutt portrayed the dilemma of mulattos who felt alien in he black community and excluded from the white, he satirized the race conscious Blue Veins of Cleveland (people of Negro descent with skin light enough to show the blueness of their veins) for snubbing their darker skinned relatives, and mimicking the middle class whites. Disturbed by violence and discrimination against blacks in the South, Chesnutt began to write propagandistic novels espousing racial harmony and understanding. His sympathetic treatment of erotic love between blacks and whites in his first novel, "The House Behind the Cedars" outraged critics of his day. Pessimism pervades his later work, prompting William Dean Howells, an early champion of Chesnutt's, to criticize "The Marrow of Tradition" for its bitter tone. Modern critics have attacked the heavy melodrama, facile coincidence, and overt didacticism of the novels. However, some critics praise Chesnutt's objectivity in the so-called propaganda novels, citing his willingness to portray a broad cross section of the black community, including accommodationist professionals, sycophants, and rebels.

The Toby Press: The Colonel's Dream By Charles W Chesnutt Charles Waddell Chesnutt (18581932) was the first African American writer to begiven serious attention by the mainstream American literary establishment. http://www.tobypress.com/books/colonel.htm
Extractions: Buy from Amazon Buy from Booksense Around the turn of the twentieth century and after having achieved financial success in New York, Colonel French returns to his hometown of Clarendon, NC, determined to use his great wealth to bring about racial harmony through economic prosperity, in a south still reeling from the social upheaval of the Civil War. He devises schemes to bring jobs to all members of the community - without regard to 'race' - but underestimates the power of deep-seated racism to undermine his efforts. He fails horribly and loses his most cherished loved ones in the process, perhaps because he himself could not fully dispel his own Southern values. About the Author CHARLES WADDELL CHESNUTT (1858-1932) was the first African American writer to be given serious attention by the mainstream American literary establishment. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but at eight moved with his family to their ancestral home in Fayetteville, North Carolina. There he carefully laid out a plan to achieve the American Dream of material success by writing for the "high, holy purpose" of liberating this country from its sin of slavery. He began as a short story writer and published two volumes of short stories, The Conjure Woman (1899) and The Wife of his Youth (1899), as well as many other stories that have been only recently collected. He published three novels during his lifetime -

Extractions: Fayetteville's business history is filled with the names of longtime successful merchants such as Huske, Lilly, Rose, Leak, Hensdale, Stein, Fleishman. But none was bigger for a time than Frank Thornton, who built an impressive store on Hay Street for his thriving dry goods business, one of the largest such enterprises in the state by the 1890s. Thornton came to Fayetteville after the Civil War "as a poor, friendless young man" but built his mercantile business and amassed large real-estate holdings.
