Fiction Novel
 
"A good-natured Southern boy from a patrician family is sent to New York to forget his dream of becoming a painter and work for a living. Oliver falls in with a lively group of bohemians calling themselves the Skylarkers' Club who get into various scrapes, such as inviting a German brass band to play in their loft apartment. Later they morph into a more sober and focused coterie of artists collectively named the Stone Mugs.
 
He eventually defies the mother he worships by going to Art College at night where meets Margaret Grant, a determined New Englander. Their budding relationship is derailed by the cultural differences between North and South, then eventually by the American Civil War."
