Original dust jacket; art by Vera Bock.To save her unproductive plantation, a penniless woman marries a muscular “po’ buckra” or poor white, who, unknown to her is really a “brass ankle” i.e. with strains of Negro and Indian blood. When the marriage fails and the plantation house becomes a rendezvous for bootleggers, she burns the mansion down in desperation. -- source link
