Inhaltsangabe

The story of an elite woman of color in 19th-century Georgia. Dickson, whose mother was a slave on her father's plantation, was raised in her father's household. She achieved independent social status when her father's death made her the largest property owner in the county, but not without a legal battle. Her story reveals racial ambiguities which existed under slavery and emancipation. Appendices offer genealogical charts, and tables on property values and population in the region. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
