‎New York. 1981. April 1981. Harper & Row. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. ISBN:0060104910. 432 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Paul Camarello/Eyetooth Design. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The legends say something happened in Chaneysville. THE CHANEYSVILLE INCIDENT is the powerful story of a man�s obsession with discovering what that something was what it had to do with the deaths of his slave great-grandfather and his moonshiner father and what it has to do with him. John Washington has a doctorate in history and is a professor at a major university an escapee from his small-town black origins. He is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call telling him that Old Jack Crawley is dying. To the people of John�s home town Jack Crawley is the strange unkempt old man who shines shoes and lives in a shack in the woods. To John he is the man who was his father�s best friend and the person who became his spiritual mentor when his father died a mysterious death. He taught John to hunt and fish to become an expert woodsman and most of all he told John stories. He told John of his father who began as a moonshiner and ended as the wealthy and most influential black member of the community. And he told the tales that had been passed on about his forebears and the troubled history of his small rural Pennsylvania town. Before Jack dies he tells John one more story. And we realize that John really has not escaped his home town nor his own past nor can he escape the strange bequest left him on Old Jack�s passing. Slowly John comes to know that he can never come to terms with his feelings for his father his relationship with a warm loving white woman; indeed he cannot go on with his life until he can solve the dual mysteries of how his father died and what dark secret of his family�s past his father was trying to uncover when he died. Once John sets out to untangle the twisted skein of his family history an obsessive almost demonic force is set into motion. And there is no release until the final page.
