Synopsis:

These are fascinating stories of the memories of ex-slaves, fourteen of which have never been published before. Although many African Americans had relocated in Oklahoma after emancipation in1865, some of the interviewees had been slaves of Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, or Creeks in the Indian territory.

Review: "In a finespun mesh of lines, this book sifts the lives of two extraordinary women: Imogene Welch, determined diarist, and her niece Mary Clearman Blew, who with rare imagination and insight fills in the spaces of life between the ink of those diary pages."
