Summary "The Cavaliers of Virginia, vol. 2 of 2" by William Alexander Caruthers is a historical romance written in the early 19th century. This novel explores the turbulent events during the early colonial period in Virginia, focusing on the character Nathaniel Bacon, whose actions and motivations lead to a significant rebellion against oppression and violence. The narrative deals with themes of love, loyalty, and the harsh realities of colonial life as it intertwines personal and collective struggles. The beginning of the work sets a dramatic tone, beginning with a fierce thunderstorm that mirrors the turmoil within Bacon's soul after a catastrophe at a chapel. Bacon, filled with despair, mounts his horse and plunges into the river, seeking solace and distraction. Meanwhile, the narrative introduces Mrs. Fairfax and her daughter Virginia, who are suffering from the aftermath of the chaos. As Bacon grapples with his emotions and turmoil, the story hints at escalating tensions between Native Americans and colonists, foreshadowing the impending conflicts that will arise. The opening serves to establish the emotional intensity and historical backdrop, drawing readers into a tale of passion, vengeance, and a struggle for justice amid the complexities of early American life.
