Their Shadows Before: A Story Of The Southampton Insurrection is a historical novel written by Pauline Carrington Bouve. The novel is based on the true events of the Southampton Insurrection, also known as Nat Turner's Rebellion, which took place in Virginia in 1831. The story is narrated from the perspective of a young woman named Eliza, who is a slave on a plantation in Southampton. Eliza is a deeply religious woman who finds solace in her faith and her love for her family. However, her world is turned upside down when she learns of Nat Turner's plans to lead a rebellion against the plantation owners. As the rebellion unfolds, Eliza must navigate the dangerous and uncertain terrain of a society in upheaval. She must decide where her loyalties lie and how far she is willing to go to protect her loved ones. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters, both black and white, who are struggling to make sense of the violence and chaos that surrounds them. Their Shadows Before is a gripping and moving novel that explores themes of race, religion, and freedom. Bouve's vivid descriptions and compelling characters bring to life a pivotal moment in American history and shed light on the enduring legacy of slavery and resistance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
