Spanning the Reconstruction Era of the 1880s to the vibrant Gilded Age and Roaring Twenties, this timeless tale has captivated audiences through its adaptation into a Broadway musical in 1927 and various film versions, including both a silent film and a partial talkie in 1929. Please note, the narrative contains themes of race, particularly anti-Black stereotypes and derogatory language, and it is LibriVoxs policy to present texts as written. - Summary by TriciaGCopyright Romance Stories Kunst Unterhaltung & Darstellende Künste Welt
