Book 2 in a trilogy including Black Brute & Slave's Revenge. Author Note: The events in this novel & in Black Brute, the book to which this is a continuation, are based upon the authentic diaries & plantation journals of a young slave owner who lived in South Carolina near Charleston at the time in which this story is set. Some of his experiences are rather shocking by today's standards, but nonetheless they are portrayed exactly as he wrote them down, tho they have been fictionalized. It is most important for the modern reader to understand that history reveals that the mores & morals & social lives of the slave masters of the antebellum South were quite different from those of free men today. In order to show life as it really was, nothing was omitted, even the most sordid facts & experiences which this young man recorded; all has been presented with exacting care in every detail wherever possible. Of course, the names have been changed in order to shield those descendants who are still living today--but it was from one of these individuals, whose great-great-great grandfather was the writer of those diaries, that the major portion of this sometimes bizarre story has been taken. The facts taken from the diaries speak for themselves: this is the way it happened.
