Law of the Land review on Emerson Slough novel
A newspaper critique of The Law of the Land by Emerson Slough from the southern view. It centers on Col Cal Blount as the defining figure, questions the novel’s portrayal of negroes and lynching, and discusses its themes of race, power, and law with a cautious, reading tone. The piece notes vivid southern character sketches, discusses arguments about race and opportunity, and hints at a later continuation.
