Francis Johnson Webb (March 21, 1828 - c. 1894) was an American novelist, poet, and essayist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His novel, The Garies and Their Friends (1857), was the first novel by an Indian-African American to be published, and the first to portray the daily lives of free blacks in the North. As a young man, Frank Webb worked in Philadelphia's vibrant community of free African Americans as a commercial artist.[1] He married in 1845, at the age of 17. In 1857, when Frank Webb was 29, the London firm of G. Routledge and Company published his first and only novel, The Garies and Their Friends.

It was at the close of an afternoon in May, that a party might have been seen gathered around a table covered with all those delicacies that, in the household of a rich Southern planter, are regarded as almost necessaries of life. In the centre stood a dish of ripe strawberries, their plump red sides peeping through the covering of white sugar that had been plentifully sprinkled over them. Geeche limes, almost drowned in their own rich syrup, temptingly displayed their bronze-coloured forms just above the rim of the glass that contained them. Opposite, and as if to divert the[...]".

Tell us all about that." "Oh, 'tis a long story, Em, and can't be told in a minute; it would take the whole evening to relate it all." "Look at the children, my dear, they are half asleep," said Mr. Garie. "Call nurse and see them safe into bed, and when you come back we will have the whole story."
