- Summary
- "Elias [Ball] and his progeny built an American dynasty that lasted for six generations, acquiring more than twenty plantations along the Cooper River near Charleston, selling rice known as Carolina gold, and enslaving close to four thousand Africans and African Americans until 1865, when Union troops arrived on the lawns of the Balls' estates to force emancipation." This is "the story of one man's exploration of his family's slave-owning past and his search for the descendants of the people his ancestors kept as slaves."--Jacket
