Summary "Gordon Keith" by Thomas Nelson Page is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story begins with Gordon Keith, the son of a general and gentleman who struggles with the ramifications of losing his family's plantation after the Civil War. As Gordon navigates the challenges of his new life, he reflects on the past, his father's ideals of gentility, and the contrast between their former wealth and the current struggles. The opening of the novel introduces us to Gordon's life before and during the upheaval caused by the war. It paints a vivid picture of the plantation life at Elphinstone, detailing Gordon's relationships with his parents and his childhood memories. The narrative explores themes of loss and resilience, illustrating both his father's steadfastness and the boy's youthful yearnings for adventure and military glory. As the story unfolds, it sets the stage for Gordon's transition from an idyllic upbringing to confronting the harsh realities of life after the war, foreshadowing his quest for purpose and identity amidst the remnants of a once-grand legacy.
