Delve into Henry, a gripping historical novel that centers on the life of Henry Berry Lowry, a young Lumbee Indian who becomes an unlikely hero in Reconstruction-era North Carolina, where racial injustice and social inequality shape every moment. After witnessing the brutal murders of his father and brother at the hands of the Home Guard, Henry is driven by a desire for justice. He forms the "Lowry Gang" with family and friends, all united in their fight against the oppressive forces that plague their community. Through daring raids and clever escapes, the Lowry Gang becomes a powerful symbol of resistance, challenging the wealthy plantation owners and political leaders who have ruled for too long. To the Lumbee and African American communities, they are modern-day Robin Hoods, striking fear into those who would see them oppressed. As tensions rise, Henry and the gang find themselves in their own war, the Lowry War. Facing a relentless pursuit by local authorities, their lives are constantly at risk, testing the strength of their bond and their resolve. The novel captures not only Henry and Rhoda's shared journey but also Rhoda's life after Henry's mysterious disappearance. With rich storytelling and meticulous research, Thompson sheds light on a forgotten chapter in American history, one that resonates deeply today. Henry honors a legacy that continues to inspire, exploring the courage, resilience, and unyielding fight against injustice, a story as relevant now as it was in the 1800s.
