Synopsis
Excerpt from The Problem: A Military Novel
The payment of such a large sum of money in cash by a colored man called forth much surprise and speculation in Richmond. Williams, by this purchase, became the owner of one hundred acres of the richest land in Virginia. T he friendship between Colonel Fairfax and Williams grew very strong, and every year Colonel Fairfax returned to the farm to pay Williams a visit.' In all the undertakings of Williams his wife, Susan, was his strongest supporter. Her very fair complexion made it difficult to fix her racial status. In 1870, Hezekiah was seized with a lingering malady, which resulted in his death August 5, 1872. At his death Susan and her daughter Amanda found themselves confronted with the responsibilities of entirely liquidating the mortgage on the farm, as well as maintaining the same.
Amanda, at the age of twenty years, was a beau tiful young' woman, inheriting the fine qualities of her mother, even the luxurious growth of brown hair which covered her shapely head. She was called de queen of de village, having many admirers. After the death of Williams, Colonel Fairfax took a deeper interest and often visited the Williams homestead.
