The cemetery becomes not just a place where bodies are buried, but a testament to the people whose lives are immortalized there. The voices that emerge span a period where many were considered property, through the Civil War period, Emancipation, Reconstruction, and on into the inequities of the Jim Crow period. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoices of Camptown\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the overlooked history of the \"Birthplace of Texas Independence\"-- where half the population received their independence only following the Civil War. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Swenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1965766110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781965766118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stoney Creek Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Charles Swenson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795307811071,"sku":"9781965766118","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58b9b26f-5d38-4958-a4a9-35c2b7e4e186.jpg?v=1744947217","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voices-of-camptown-charles-swenson-9781965766118","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
