The CrisisMacmillan, 1922 - Всего страниц: 543 The Crisis is a romance set amidst the turmoil of the American Civil War. The divisions that threatened to tear apart the country prior to the Civil War were nowhere more apparent than in St. Louis.

When a young abolitionist lawyer falls for the daughter of a Southern gentleman, the turbulent political atmosphere creates a seemingly impossible barrier.
