A Model Soldier (Fiction)

In the short story "A Model Soldier" from Princess Mary's Gift Book, Kitty enters her father's studio, claiming to have had an adventure. Her father, familiar with her mischievous nature, remains skeptical but curious. Kitty declares herself a heroine and recounts saving someone's life. She playfully narrates the incident in a melodramatic style, describing herself as a modest and meek girl who, in a leading thoroughfare, witnesses a young person in distress. The story involves a cry of terror, a young figure crossing the road in front of an oncoming motor-car, and an older woman inside the car. The narrative is presented with a touch of humor and theatricality, characteristic of Kitty's playful personality.

The Aftermath of Slavery (Biography and Memoir)

In Aftermath Sinclair outlines an ongoing "reign of terror and blood" in the South where whites cling "to the traditions of the slave system." He refutes "the notion that slavery had been 'a paternalistic relationship' between master and slave" and argues "that the rapport between black and white Americans in the Reconstruction era was the product of 'the essential barbarism' of the slave system" (Journal of Southern History V.79, 1030). Following his well-documented histories of the slave trade, the economics of slavery, and its abolition under Lincoln, Sinclair reports on the persistent "war on negro suffrage" and the relentless passage of Jim Crow laws.
