The opening of this volume introduces "Marse Chan," a story narrated by Sam, a servant reminiscing about his life with Marse Chan, a young master from Virginia. As the narrative unfolds, we are taken back to the settings of the old plantation, exploring the relationships between the characters before and during the Civil War era. Sam recounts Marse Chan's childhood, their bond, and significant events leading up to the young master's enlistment in the army, all while reflecting on the changing times and social dynamics of that era. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, the story sets the stage for themes of loyalty, love, and the historical context of the south, engaging readers with its rich character portrayals and emotional depth.
