Poindexter, Colored" by Irvin S. Cobb is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The story follows Jefferson Exodus Poindexter, known as Jeff, a colored man who transitions from his life working for a judge in the South to embarking on an adventure in New York City. The narrative is steeped in humor and local color, capturing Jeff's perception and experiences as he navigates a new world filled with both opportunities and challenges. The opening of the novel introduces Jeff, who reflects on his life and his decision to write about his experiences at the suggestion of a white friend, Dallas Pulliam. After many years of loyal service to Judge Priest, who has left for Colorado, Jeff finds himself restless and ultimately accepts Dallas's invitation to accompany him to New York City as his body-servant. As he recounts his journey, from leaving his familiar environment to arriving in bustling New York, Jeff shares his observations on society, his race's struggles, and the cultural differences he encounters. The blend of humor and poignant moments sets an engaging tone for his adventures ahead.
