| 520 | _a"The Reign of Law; a tale of the Kentucky hemp fields" by James Lane Allen is a novel written during the late 19th century. It explores the life of Kentucky farmers in the context of hemp cultivation, intertwining agricultural practices with themes of personal and societal struggle. The story begins by highlighting the historical significance of hemp in Kentucky and delves into the lives of its people, with a focus on the impact of this crop on their livelihoods and relationships. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the rich landscape of Kentucky, detailing the cultivation of hemp and the labor involved in its production. It introduces a pioneer community defined by their hard work and the changes brought about by the cultivation of hemp, as it shifts from being a necessity for basic needs to a lucrative cash crop. During this backdrop of agricultural life, the narrative sets the stage for the struggles and aspirations of its characters, including a deacon expelled from a church for his open-mindedness, and a young man, David, who dreams of attending a new university. This opening portion establishes a complex interplay between the characters' personal desires and the cultural and economic forces shaping their lives amidst the natural world.
