4.0 out of 5 stars
my old plantation home
As a descendent of the Croom family, this book contains a wealth of much needed information. We had always heard our family used to own property but lost it because of a court case which decided which member of the family died last in a shipwreck.

my old plantation home,
By Vicki "Vicki RPh" (Mobile, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Croom Family and Goodwood Plantation: Land, Litigation, and Southern Lives (Hardcover)

Anyone who visits historical homes always wonders about the people who build the house, who they were, how they lived, etc. It's pretty amazing when they were your family! Who knows? Maybe we can sue and get the old homestead back!!!
