Worthington is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work examines the societal upheaval and challenges faced by the Southern United States during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War. It focuses on the effects of Reconstruction policies on Southern individuals, particularly highlighting character-driven narratives that reflect the struggles of a post-war society. The opening portion of the book sets a reflective tone, with the narrator contemplating the aftermath of the Civil War and the Reconstruction efforts in the South. The narrator observes with a sense of nostalgia the once-vibrant Southern culture and its heartbreaking transformation through war and political strife. Characters like Colonel John Walter Seymour and his daughter Alice emerge in this context, encapsulating themes of loss, sacrifice, and the struggle to maintain identity amidst the chaos. Significant attention is given to the emotional weight of memories as the narrator navigates through personal recollections and societal changes, illustrating both the sorrow and resilience of those affected by the era's turbulence.
