Hearts of Gold
A novel by J. McHenry Jones
New Edition co-edited by John Ernest and Eric Gardner
West Virginia University Press, 2010.


An edition of a recovered 1896 novel of Black life, with an extensive biographical and critical introduction. 


Praise for the new edition of Hearts of Gold:


“[T]he first of a projected series of out-of-print West Virginia literary works by African American writers. An extensive introduction and six appendices provide fascinating context for a love story set among convict coal miners in West Virginia.”  --Appalachian Heritage

“[A] groundbreaking novel.”  --Journal of Appalachian Studies
