| Summary | "Westover of Wanalah: A Story of Love and Life in Old Virginia" by George Cary Eggleston is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds the life and challenges of Boyd Westover, a young plantation owner in Virginia during the late 1850s, who grappled with newly inherited responsibilities, extensive debts, and complex personal relationships. The central theme revolves around love, duty, and societal expectations in a changing world. At the start of the story, Boyd Westover is introduced as a young man burdened by the sudden death of his father and the responsibilities of managing the family plantation, Wanalah. While riding through the plantation accompanied by his dogs, he encounters a woman, Margaret Conway, who is in peril from a charging bull. Boyd's heroic rescue of Margaret ignites the romantic tension between them, but his worries about the plantation's financial strain loom large. The opening sets the stage for Boyd's internal and external conflicts as he navigates the responsibilities of his inherited estate, his burgeoning love for Margaret, and the traditional values of Southern society.
