  • The stories included in In Ole Virginia have been traditionally regarded by critics as the epitome of plantation fiction since they have been read as the recreation of a dead civilization generating mythical qualities. However, "No Haid Pawn", a tale told by a white man, sheds light on a new facet of Thomas Nelson Page as a postwar Virginian and a southern writer, as well as on his views about what slavery really meant for the Old South.
