The Three Black Pennys
"The Three Black Pennys" is a sweeping family saga that explores the enduring legacy of the Penny family across three distinct generations in the iron-working hills of Pennsylvania. The narrative traces the recurring trait of a dark, rebellious temperament-the "Black" Penny blood-as it manifests in different heirs from the colonial era through the mid-nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century. Each section of the novel captures a specific era in the American industrial landscape, beginning with the primitive forges of the wilderness and ending in the sophisticated but fading society of the modern age. Through the lives of Howat, Jasper, and the younger Howat Penny, the work examines the tension between individual passion and the constraints of social duty. Joseph Hergesheimer's prose provides an atmospheric and lush portrayal of the changing American character and the inevitable decline of an aristocratic lineage. As a significant work of early twentieth-century American literature, "The Three Black Pennys" stands as a poignant reflection on heredity, the passage of time, and the personal cost of industrial progress.

Balisand
"Balisand" is a compelling historical novel set in the aftermath of the American Revolution, capturing the tumultuous social and political landscape of post-war Virginia. The narrative follows Richard Bale, a veteran of the Continental Army and master of the Balisand estate, as he struggles to reconcile his staunch Federalist principles with the rising tide of Jeffersonian democracy.
