In tracing their ancestral roots, these family historians discover their connections to some of the South's most powerful men, both famous and forgotten. The community at the heart of this historical study is Edgefield, South Carolina, yet the stories in this book form a microcosm of events experienced by black communities throughout the South. An enslaved maternal line is traced to 1799; hopes are raised, then dashed, when a family of freedmen acquire land after the Civil War, only to later lose it; the \"Dark Corner\" of Edgefield is exposed. Shining a bright, sometimes uncomfortable light, deep truths are unearthed through DNA results and new family is found. Follow the authors through years of meticulous genealogical research, historical settings, and DNA testing as they reclaim their family stories and inspire others to embark on their own journeys of discovery. By leaving no stone unturned, these family historians show how they overcame the brick walls of slavery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natonne Elaine Kemp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0999240609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999240601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rocky Pond Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndie Reader\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/14\/2018","brand":"Natonne Elaine Kemp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988369604863,"sku":"9780999240601","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca53b5bb-3909-469a-931d-ebb49cb4b7aa.jpg?v=1683294153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/there-is-something-about-edgefield-natonne-elaine-kemp-9780999240601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
