The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come is a 1903 Kentucky Civil War novel by John Fox Jr. It was serialized in Scribner's Magazine in the summer of 1903, and the book edition published later that year.[1] The novel tells the rags-to-respectability tale of orphan Chad Buford. It was the first novel to sell a million copies in the US. Fox's depiction of black characters was held against it from the 1960s.[2]
