(Mabell Shippie Clarke) 1864 1942 Pelton, Mabell Shippie Clarke Smith, Mabell Shippie Clarke Holloway, Edward Stratton 1859 1939 A Tar-Heel Baron Produced by Barbara Tozier, Bill Tozier and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "A Tar-Heel Baron" by Mabell Shippie Clarke Pelton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Baron Friedrich von Rittenheim, a foreign aristocrat who finds himself struggling with poverty as he tries to adapt to life on a small farm in North Carolina. As he navigates his new surroundings, he grapples with challenges stemming from cultural differences, economic hardships, and personal ambitions, providing readers a glimpse into the complexities of class and identity in the early southern U.S. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Friedrich von Rittenheim, who appears out of place among the mountaineers of North Carolina. Despite his noble background, he is poor and engages in agricultural work while attempting to earn the respect of his neighbors. The opening describes his humble efforts to fit in, highlights the warmth with which he is received, and foreshadows the struggles he faces, both financially and emotionally. His situation is exacerbated by the arrival of a deputy marshal who arrests him for selling homemade whisky, illustrating the conflicts between his old-world values and the harsh realities of his new life. This set-up not only establishes the baron as a sympathetic character but also hints at the social tensions that will develop throughout the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
