Book excerpt: A detailed portrait of a cotton plantation in the Deep South before the Civil War, based on a real plantation house in Louisiana. Here is the world of the Southern plantation seen from two views: the owners, who rule over their 900-acre domain from the stately, well-appointed Big House, and the slaves, who live in small wooden cabins, toil long hours, and hope for freedom. Through many detailed and colorful photographs of exteriors, interiors, and artifacts; drawings; a time line and glossary; and an information-packed narrative, readers will experience for themselves everyday life on a pre-Civil War Southern plantation. Includes more than 130 original color photos of artifacts and interiors from the Big House and slaves' quarters, and a list of places to visit.
