Summary: "An Arkansas Planter" by Opie Percival Read is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story dives into the life of a prominent Arkansas plantation owner, Major John Cranceford, and his lengthy discussions and conflicts regarding his daughter, Louise, who has fallen in love with a man of questionable health and reputation, Carl Pennington. The narrative explores themes of love, family loyalty, and the complex dynamics of social class in a post-Civil War Southern setting. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the life of the Arkansas planter and the scenic yet troubled backdrop of Reconstruction-era Arkansas. The focus quickly shifts to the Cranceford family, particularly Major Cranceford's struggles as he confronts his daughter’s desire to marry a man he views as unfit due to his deteriorating health and familial history. The opening chapters vividly illustrate the Major's authoritative yet caring nature and offer insight into Louise's passionate defiance against her father's wishes, creating a tension that sets the stage for the unfolding drama in their lives against the backdrop of societal expectations. The characters are richly drawn, reflecting the complexities of their relationships and the era in which they live. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
