In Search of the Promised Land by John Hope Franklin
Presented in a narrative format, this book tells the story of the Thomas-Rapier family of Nashville. It follows Sally Thomas and her sons James, Henry, and John to analyze the complex and ambiguous nature of slavery and freedom in the Old South.
The authors argue that this 'highly unusual family' illuminates relatively unexplored aspects of Southern history, and they tell its story elegantlyNew York Times Book Review This is a distinguished contribution to American history and social sciences. Highly recommended to both public and academic libraries. Edward G. McCormack, Library Journal
