 | In 2001, at age forty-seven, Thomas Norman DeWolf was astounded to discover that he was related to the most successful slave-trading family in United States history, responsible for transporting at least 10,000 Africans to the Americas. |
|
 | This book offers a richly illustrated, vividly written history that illuminates the human side of this inhumane institution, presenting it largely through stories of the slaves themselves. |
|
 | Letters, diaries, and regimental newspapers take the reader inside the minds of Civil War soldiers-black and white, Northern and Southern-as they fought and marched across a divided country. |
