Mam' Linda Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "Mam' Linda" by Will N. Harben is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a small Southern town, focusing on the characters' struggles with themes of race, social class, and personal convictions. The main character, Carson Dwight, is a young lawyer attempting to navigate the complexities of local politics and societal expectations while standing up for what he believes is right regarding the treatment of African Americans, particularly in the wake of a violent incident involving a young black man named Pete. At the start of the novel, the tensions within the community are established as Carson Dwight and his friends grapple with the aftermath of the White Caps raid on the local black quarter. Through conversations among the characters, we learn about the political maneuvering in the town and the opposing pressures Carson faces from his father, the local elite, and the mountain people regarding their views on race. The introduction of Mam' Linda, Pete's mother, adds an emotional weight to the narrative, particularly her anguish over her son's mistreatment. The opening chapters set a rich stage for exploring moral dilemmas and the personal stakes involved in standing up against societal norms.
