Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Clansman: An Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan" by Thomas Dixon Jr. is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the tumultuous period following the American Civil War, particularly focusing on the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and its impact on Southern society. With both a historical and dramatic narrative, it follows characters such as Ben Cameron, a member of the Klan, as well as his family and their interactions with Southern society during Reconstruction. The opening of the novel presents a vivid scene in a hospital, as a young girl named Elsie Stoneman comforts wounded soldiers while dealing with her own emotional turmoil regarding the war's aftermath. The atmosphere is filled with conflict; news of peace and victory contrasts sharply with the fate of a Confederate officer condemned to death by a court-martial. The narrative introduces pivotal relationships and themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the quest for justice as Elsie seeks support to save the young officer, setting the stage for a broader exploration of the racial and social tensions of the time. The book promises a blend of historical authenticity coupled with the narrative's dramatic intensity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 80.9 (6th grade).
