The Hairstons
Author: Henry Wiencek
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250276152
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
This “lovingly detailed history” chronicles the largest slaveholding family in the Old South, as its descendants—white and Black—grapple with its legacy (The Dallas Morning News). A National Book Critics Circle Award Winner Spanning two centuries of one family’s history, The Hairstons tells the extraordinary story of the Hairston clan, once the wealthiest family in the Old South and the largest slaveholder in America. With several thousand black and white members, the Hairstons of today share a complex and compelling history: divided in the time of slavery, they have come to embrace their past as one family. For seven years, journalist Henry Wiencek combed the far-reaching branches of the Hairston family tree to piece together the experiences of both plantation owners and their slaves. Crisscrossing the old plantation country of Virginia, North Carolina, and Mississippi, The Hairstons reconstructs the triumphant rise of the remarkable children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the enslaved as they fought to take their rightful place in mainstream America. It also follows the white descendants through the decline and fall of the Old South, and uncovers the hidden history of slavery’s curse—and how that curse followed slaveholders for generations.
