From Calabar to Carter's Grove: The History of a Virginia Slave Community (Colonial Williamsburg Studies in Chesapeake History and Culture)

Offering a collective portrait of a 17th and 18th century tidewater Virginia slave community, historian Walsh (Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) provides a model multigenerational research perspective on antebellum slavery (including for a time, white indentured servants): its origins, culture, group evolution, and "the contours of daily living." The text is enhanced by b&w illustrations, documents, and notes on methodology. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
