His last book, Echo of Drums, published in 1938 a year before his death was marketed as: "This powerful, dramatic novel is part the story of a Georgia editor's troubles under carpetbag and Negro rule during the reconstruction period after the War between the States. More important than that, it is told from the point of view of Beau Carroll, the editor's son, and his reactions to the scenes he witnesses are significant of the effect upon the adolescent youth of the South of an ugly political and economic situation."
