Evans is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the life and contributions of Martha Schofield, an influential educator integral to the upliftment of African Americans during the Reconstruction period in South Carolina. The narrative explores her unwavering dedication to education amidst the harsh realities of racial oppression and societal challenges following the Civil War.  At the start of the book, the author introduces readers to a tense moment as a woman named Laura Duncan, an escaped slave, seeks refuge in the Schofield home while pursued by bloodhounds and angry men. The scene highlights not only the peril faced by those seeking freedom but also sets the tone for the compassionate activism embodied by the Schofield family. Mrs. Schofield's efforts to console Laura and assist her escape illustrate the moral complexities and dangers of the time. This opening serves as a powerful prelude to Martha Schofield's own journey, which is marked by her commitment to educating newly freed African Americans and her tireless work against the injustices of slavery and racism.
