Acerca del libro
The author began a journey searching family history in Columbia County, Georgia, and made a startling discovery within the Dozier story, which remained hidden for generations. The ghosts of Rosehill Plantation, in the Cobbham Community in modern Appling, Georgia, whispered tales of cotton and of hardworking strong-willed people. Their lives and spiritual conflicts in times long forgotten is a story about the South, about what it means to be family, and about devotion to each other. In the vein of the images and emotions of Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind, this book is a real life story about a family on both sides of the Civil War, through slavery, emancipation, freedom, reconstruction and reconciliation. These pages show photos and portraits of real characters and reads almost like historical fiction, but all of it is true - and validated in the U. S. Census records from 1860 - 1910. How the Dozier, Sturgis and Bugg families survived and thrived in these times is remarkable. How their names were sewn within the textile of King Cotton is a story that must be told. How their names were introduced and retained by slaves and descendants of slaves is remarkable in and of itself, but revealed is the name of the Last Freedman of Georgia, how he came to Columbia County and who granted his freedom through manumission. The Big House on Rosehill Plantation was like a face brightened by the sun, who witnessed the laughter, tears and faith of generations. A crown jewel of a plantation home, one you must read about and see.
