In Ole Virginia, six local‐color stories by
T.N. Page, published in 1887.
Marse Chan, told in dialect by a black ex‐slave, is a romance of the Civil War, concerned with a pair of aristocratic lovers separated by the political rivalry of their parents. The young man dies a hero in battle, and the girl dies of grief.
‘Unc' Edinburg's Drowndin',’ also in dialect, is a similar tale of lovers parted by a family quarrel, which ends, however, with their reconciliation.
Ole 'Stracted tells of a slave who becomes “distracted” when his wife and children are taken from him to be sold. Freed at the close of the war, he is obsessed by his desire to earn their freedom, and, after many years, having saved the exact amount, finds his son only to die in his arms.
‘No Haid Pawn’ (
No Head Pond) is a sensational tale of ghosts and horrors set on a mysterious deserted plantation in the swamps.
Polly is the story of a hotheaded Virginia colonel, his love for his niece, whom he rears from infancy, his anger at her secret marriage, and their reconciliation at a Christmas feast.
