N2  - "Kitty's Conquest" by Charles King is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the post-Civil War American South, following the experiences of Kitty Carrington, a young Southern woman, as she navigates a world still rife with the tensions and prejudices stemming from the war. The narrative centers around her interactions with a group of characters, including a Yankee officer named Lieutenant Amory, adding a layer of conflict and romance to the unfolding events.  At the start of the novel, the narrator, a lawyer named Mr. Brandon, boards a train traveling through the Southern states after leaving behind the comforts of New Orleans. During the journey, he becomes intrigued by a young woman, Kitty, who captivates him with her beauty. As they converse, it becomes clear that Kitty harbors deep-seated animosities against Yankees, stemming from her family's tumultuous experiences during the war. The tension escalates when their train is halted by the discovery of a robbery attempt linked to a notorious group, the Ku-Klux, leading to a chaotic confrontation that intertwines their fates. As the story unfolds against a backdrop of personal struggles and societal upheaval, it lays the groundwork for potential romance, danger, and the exploration of regional prejudices.
