500    Originally published: Lincoln, Neb., Woodruff Press, 1913.
504    Includes bibliographical references (pages xx-xxi). 
520    The novel portrays the aspirations and struggles of a 
       black homesteader named Oscar Devereaux. Born on a small 
       farm near Cairo, Illinois, one of thirteen children, 
       Devereaux leaves home to work in the Chicago stockyards 
       and finally graduates to the job of porter in a Pullman 
       railway car. He is persoable, industrious, and frugal with
       a purpose. After saving $2,500, Devereaux goes to South 
       Dakota and buys land. His object is not speculation for 
       quick profit but the cultivation of property he can call 
       his own. He plows and sows and sweats, and by the age of 
       twenty-five has reaped an estate worth $20,000. Success is
       sweet, self-respect is sweeter. But if the calamities he 
       is exposed to as a homesteader are severe, so are those 
       brought on by marriage to the passive daughter of a 
       dominating preacher.
