Beginning in the South Carolina Low Country with his Huguenot
ancestors who fled religious persecution in Europe,
journalist-historian Frye Gaillard traces his family through the
troubled, oppressive history of the South. Gaillard, who came of
age during the civil rights years, shares the painful legacy of a
family sometimes on the wrong side of that history. He writes of
Capt. Peter Gaillard, who fought in the Revolutionary War (on both
sides), and became a prosperous planter and slave-owner. The author
follows the family story through the major events of Southern
history-the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the civil rights
revolution-to show how a family's identity was forged by privilege,
hardship, and loss, and also by a moral reckoning that emerged
slowly, inevitably over time. A powerful memoir that is sure to
speak to the heart of every Southerner. Researched with Dr. Nancy
Gaillard, educator and wife of the author.
