NEW FALL FICTION, 1909
MY LADY OF THE SOUTH
A STORY OF THE CIVIL WAR
By RANDALL PARRISH
SERGEANT ELBERT KING of Reynolds' Battery, being left for dead after the defeat at Minersville, recovers and hides in the outskirts of a Southern home. Here he first sees Jean Denslow and hears her passionate outpouring of aversion to her marriage, to be forced upon her that night, to a Southern officer. Here he also learns of a flank movement to be made by the victorious Southerners upon Rosecrans' entrenched and retreating troops. His effort to warn his army of its dangers throws him into a relation more intimate than cordial with this Lady of the South, and gains him a lieutenancy within the same twenty-four hours. The story of the feud in which the lady is involved, and of King's efforts to serve her and be loyal to his cause, is without doubt the best that Randall Parrish has written.

"American literature own much to Mr. Parrish, and he is increasing the debt still more with every new volume. There none other among the noteworthy writers of the day just like him, and very few in the notable army who have preceded him."—Detroit Times.
