The Treasure of Peyre Gaillard

More about the book

Renowned novelist and historian John Bennett's work, originally published in 1906, is celebrated for its authentic depiction of the American South and its intricate cryptogram, likened to Poe's. After nearly a century of unavailability, this new edition features an introduction by Harlan Greene, who provides insights into Bennett's intentions and includes a unique "decoder" that clarifies the interplay of fact and fiction in the narrative.
