Description
Pearce Amerson's Will is a novel written by Richard Malcolm Johnston and published in 1898. The book tells the story of Pearce Amerson, a wealthy landowner in rural Georgia who dies and leaves behind a controversial will. The will stipulates that his entire estate should be divided equally among his two sons, but only if they marry women of good character and reputation. If they do not, the estate will be donated to a local college.The novel explores the themes of family, inheritance, and social status in the post-Civil War South. It also delves into the complexities of human relationships and the power struggles that can arise within families.The story is narrated by Amos Amerson, the younger of Pearce's two sons, who is deeply affected by his father's will and the expectations it places on him. He struggles to find a suitable wife and faces opposition from his older brother, who has already married but is unhappy with his choice of spouse.As the story unfolds, secrets are revealed, tensions rise, and the characters must confront their own flaws and weaknesses. Ultimately, Pearce Amerson's Will is a thought-provoking exploration of family dynamics and the values that shape our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
