In Buncombe County is a historical fiction novel written by Maria Louise Pool and published in 1896. The story is set in the eponymous county in North Carolina during the late 19th century. The main character, a young woman named Mary Penrose, moves to the county with her family and becomes involved in the local community. She meets and befriends a diverse group of people, including a young woman from a wealthy family, an African American woman who works as a cook, and a schoolteacher who is fighting for better education opportunities for African American children.As Mary becomes more involved in the community, she learns about the social and political issues of the time, including racism, poverty, and the struggle for women's rights. The novel explores these issues through the experiences of its characters, who face challenges and obstacles as they navigate the complex social landscape of Buncombe County.Throughout the novel, Pool also portrays the natural beauty of the area, describing the mountains, forests, and rivers that surround the county. The book offers a vivid and detailed portrait of life in a small Southern town at the turn of the century, and provides insight into the social and cultural issues of the time. Overall, In Buncombe County is a compelling and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that offers a glimpse into a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
