Runaways, Coffles and Fancy Girls: A History of Slavery in Tennessee | Bill Carey

pick

This work of investigative journalism from sources that are now over 150 reveals a Tennessee that for any number of reasons are not a part of common understanding. From research using only slave ads in newspapers from across the state Mr. Carey shows how slavery was a part of Tennessee life from the first white settlers until 1865. An important and unsettling work.
