China Galland
~~List Price: $24.95~~ Your price: $43.88

By the eve of the Civil War, there were four million slaves in North America, and Harrison County was the largest slave-owning county in Texas.

"My daddy never let anybody plow this end of the field," a local matron told a startled Galland during a visit to her antebellum mansion. "The slaves are buried there." Galland's subsequent effort to help restore just one of these cemeteries—Love Cemetery—unearths a quintessential American story of prejudice, land theft, and environmental destruction, uncovering racial wounds that are slow to heal.
