PAGE, THOMAS NELSON Gordon Keith
New York Charles Scribner's Sons 1903 Hard Cover Good
With illustrations by George Wright. X,548 pages, 8 plates, decorated cloth, some shelf wear otherwise very good. From the website of LoveToKnow 1911 Online Encyclopedia: "THOMAS NELSON PAGE, (1853-1922), American author, was born at Oakland Plantation, Hanover county, Virginia, on the 23rd of April 1853, the great-grandson of Thomas Nelson (1738-1789) and of John Page (1744-1808), both governors of Virginia, the former being a signer of the Declaration of Independence. After a course at Washington and Lee University (1869-1872) he graduated in law at the university of Virginia (1874), and practiced, chiefly in Richmond, until 1893, when he removed to Washington, D. C., and devoted himself to writing and lecturing. In. 1884 he had published in the Century Magazine Marse Chan, a tale of life in Virginia during the Civil War, which immediately attracted attention. He wrote other stories of Negro life and character ( Meh Lady, Unc Edinburgs Drowndin, and Ole Stracted ), which, with two others, were published in 1887 with the title In Ole Virginia, perhaps his most characteristic book. This was followed by Befo de War (1888), dialect poems, written with Armistead Churchill Gordon (b. 1855); On Newfound River (1891); The Old South (1891), social and political essays; Elsket and Other Stories (1892); The Burial of the Guns (1894); Pastime Stories (1894); The Old Gentleman of the Black Stock (1897); Social Life in Old Virginia before the War (1897); Two Prisoners (1898); Red Rock (1898), a novel of the Reconstruction period; Gordon Keith (1903); The Negro: the Southerners Problem (1904); Bred in the Bone and Other Stories (1904); The Coast of Bohemia (1906), poems; The Old Dominion: Her Making and her Manners (1907), a collection of essays; Under the Crust (1907), stories; Robert E. Lee, the Southerner (1908); John Marvel, Assistant (1909), a novel; and various books for children. He is at his best in those short stories in which, through negro character and dialect, he pictures the life of the Virginia gentry, especially as it centered about the mutual devotion of master and servant."

PAGE, THOMAS NELSON Washington and Its Romance
New York Doubleday, Page & Co. , 1923 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good
Illustrated by Walter O. & Emily Shaw-Reese. xxxii,[2], 196 pages, plates, pictorial cloth, very good. 1st edition. From the website of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Thomas Nelson Page (b. Hanover County, Virginia, April 23, 1853-d. Hanover County, Virginia, Nov. 1, 1922) was an American writer. He popularized the plantation tradition genre of Southern writing. His 1887 collection of short stories, In Ole Virginia, is the quintessential work of that genre. Another short-story collection is The Burial of the Guns (1894). A scion of the prominent Nelson and Page families, the Virginian attended Washington College and the University of Virginia in pursuit of a legal career. Page was a lawyer in Richmond from 1876 to 1893, when he moved to Washington. He kept up his writing, which amounted to eighteen volumes when they were compiled and published in 1912. Under Woodrow Wilson, Page served as ambassador to Italy for six years from 1913 to 1919. Italy and the World War (1920) is a memoir of his service there."
