    About this ebook

    Discover one of the best historical novels of our time with this free 2 chapter extract from the famous author James Lane Allen.

    Though the American South played an important role in contributing to the country's culture, it wasn't until the mid-nineteenth century that a distinctly Southern literary voice began to emerge. Kentucky-based author James Lane Allen's gift for description and unforgettable characters helped him rise to prominence among the "local color" literary movement in the South, and his prodigious talents are on full display in the novella A Kentucky Cardinal.

    As part of our mission to publish great works of literary fiction and nonfiction, Sheba Blake Publishing Corp. is extremely dedicated to bringing to the forefront the amazing works of long dead and truly talented authors.
