"The Lead of Honour" by Norval Richardson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Sargent Everett, a young and ambitious man, as he embarks on a journey from New England to Natchez, Mississippi, in search of a new life and career in law. The themes of youth, ambition, and the challenges of adapting to a new and often harsh environment are prevalent, as Everett navigates his path
with a strong determination despite his physical affliction. The opening of the novel introduces Sargent Everett on a riverboat journey, showcasing his reflective nature and longing for a chance to prove himself. He is depicted conversing with the rugged Captain, who expresses concern about Everett’s decision to pursue a life in the pioneer town of Natchez, a place filled with risk and adversity. As they travel, the young man reflects on his past and the desire to overcome the stigma of his disability, conveying to the reader a sense of both hope and trepidation. This initial chapter sets the tone for a narrative rich in character development, life challenges, and the exploration of personal honor in a gritty, pre-Civil War Southern landscape.
