An engrossing family tale and an exploration of the African American freedom struggle, written by the great grandson of the main figure in the story - Casper George Garrett, known as Papa.

A fascinating excursion into a past that, though relatively recent, has long been hidden from view

"[The Garretts of Columbia] Captures a family with both the rich detail of a biographer and the artistry of a novelist. A remarkable achievement."
