Summary

This is actually something I wrote in school. I'm sorry about the language not being English, but I couldn't find Swedish as an option to post in. Maybe if there's some fellow Swedes out here on Booksie, or if you simply know our language, you might find this piece entertaining. It's possible I'll put up a translated version someday. Anyways, I don't think a summary really fits this particular short story, you'll simply have to experience it :-)

Ezekiel Salter scrimps to buy a ticket in Georgia’s 1807 Land Lottery, wins, and he and his impoverished family head west to newly-created Murcheson County.

Dispatched by his father, Jacob Underwood begins construction of Poplar Grove plantation. And, the slave known as Gant, his wife and daughter, Lucey, have no say as to their destination…the highest bidder will decide for them…and if the family remains intact. Spanning over fifty years, Murcheson County chronicles the four families’ fortunes against the backdrop of the most turbulent time in American history. An epic saga of slavery, emancipation, war and hardship, Murcheson County will remain in your heart long after the winds of war have stopped blowing.
