Hidden History,
By Jessica Stuart (Texas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: William Johnson's Natchez: The Ante-Bellum Diary of a Free Negro (Paperback)
The Diary of William Johnson is a must read for the Ante-Bellum period. Reading his diary you get a wonderful glimpse of the everyday life and family of William Johnson. This is truly a special hidden piece of history. I have not finished the entire diary but I use it a lot for reference in my genealogical research. Sorrowfully, I am a descendant of Baylor Winn, the man who murdered William Johnson over a boundary dispute in 1851. There was a lot of controversy over the murder, if you haven't read about it you should. But ultimately, this tragic event led us inside the life and history of the people of this time. Today, you can visit William Johnson's house in Natchez.

William Johnson's Natchez: The Ante-Bellum Diary of a Free Negro,
This review is from: William Johnson's Natchez: The Ante-Bellum Diary of a Free Negro (Paperback)
My stepfather asked me to purchase this book for him since he did not have a computer. He read the first 400 pages within 3 days. He called me to tell me that he totally enjoyed this book and he asked me to order the book for another person(he raved so much to this person about the book). He's leaving the book to the family (once he passes on) to let each
member to read and learn about Afro American History. |
