New York: Random House Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. (1955), 375pp. G+ in G, lightly chipped dj. Warren, (1905-1989), born in Guthrie, Kentucky, is one of Kentucky's outstanding literary figures, being the only person to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and for Poetry. He was the first Poet Laureate of the United States and the recipient of numerous awards and commendations. One of his chief interests was slavery and the Civil War, writing almost a dozen books on the subject. This novel set during the period of the Civil War, tells the story of Amanda Starr, a motherless child, raised on her father's plantation in Kentucky, who is sent away to school and doesn't return until the age of sixteen, upon her father's death. She then becomes aware that her mother was one of the plantation slaves and that she, herself, is subject to seizure and sale, by her bankrupt father's creditors..
