I loved the things I learned, but the info was very disjointed so it was hard to piece together the story of any one single person.

Chock full of information that allows the reader to put what we already know into perspective.  This book is the result of very rigorous research.  Bravo.

Impeccably researched and respectfully told, this is about the lives of enslaved people in America during the civil war and into the great depression. Stories from those who lived extraordinary lives, but who have ignored, until now.
