| Summary |
"The War of the Carolinas" by Meredith Nicholson is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative appears to revolve around the tensions and conflicts between North Carolina and South Carolina, focusing on the lives and interactions of key characters including Thomas Ardmore, a wealthy young man on a quest for adventure, and Henry Griswold, a law professor with a keen interest in piracy and marine law. The storyline seems to blend themes of personal discovery and social interactions with the backdrop of governmental and historical events. The opening of "The War of the Carolinas" sets the stage at a railway station in Atlanta, where we meet Ardmore and Griswold engaged in a conversation about their somewhat stagnant lives and desire for adventure. Ardmore confesses he is looking for a young woman he saw on a train, hinting at a romantic motivation behind his journey. Meanwhile, newspaper reports reveal a brewing conflict between the governors of the two Carolinas, suggesting that political tensions will intersect with the personal quests of the characters. This mix of personal pursuit and historical context promises readers a rich narrative full of intrigue, humor, and the exploration of relationships against a backdrop of regional rivalry.
