Sons of a privileged ante-bellum Georgian family, Randolph Moss and his two brothers become committed to their anti-slavery views (developed from their reading John Locke and because they discover that their personal slaves are also their half-brothers). In defiance of family and convention, the brothers provoke deadly confrontations that cost the life of one brother, ostracize another to the Georgian frontier, and force Randolph and his slave half-brother to run from the law, first to live among the Yamasee and then to find shelter in the academic community of Oxford, Mississippi, where Randolph is reunited with his former fiancé and leads a comfortable professor’s life until the day the bounty hunter arrives.

The Genealogy Annual is a comprehensive bibliography of the year's genealogies, handbooks, and source materials. It is divided into three main sections. FAMILY HISTORIES-cites American and international single and multifamily genealogies, listed alphabetically by major surnames included in each book. GUIDES AND HANDBOOKS-includes reference and how-to books for doing research on specific record groups or areas of the U.S. or the world. GENEALOGICAL SOURCES BY STATE-consists of entries for genealogical data, organized alphabetically by state and then by city or county. The Genealogy Annual, the core reference book of published local histories and genealogies, makes finding the latest information easy. Because the information is compiled annually, it is always up to date. No other book offers as many citations as The Genealogy Annual; all works are included. You can be assured that fees were not required to be listed.
