Tapestry, a Living History of the Black Family in Southeastern Connecticut
"The first half of Tapestry consists of a historical overview of African Americans in southeastern Connecticut from 1680 to 1865. The authors focus on the arrival of blacks in Connecticut, the African-American family, and the role played by African Americans in the Revolutionary and Civil wars. Much of the action takes place in the towns of Groton, East Haddam, New London, Chatham, and Hebron. In the second part of the volume, Dr. Rose and Mrs. Brown produce, as illustrations, genealogical sketches of the following African-American families: Beman, Boham, Bush, Freeman, Hallan, Hyde, Jacklin, Jackson, Lathrop, Magira, Mason, Moody, Peters, Quash, Rogers, and Wright. While readers will discover information in a number of these genealogies that is repeated in Brown and Rose's Black Roots in Southeastern Connecticut, 1650-1900, researchers should check the accounts in Tapestry for embellishments"--Publisher website (December 2008).

The Early Days
This book began as a letter to her daughter in answer to some specific questions about the old days. The author was encouraged to expand the letter into this delightful memoir that not only will engage her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, when they are old enough to enjoy it, but is universal enough in scope to inspire anyone who has ever had to meet some difficult challenges. Not many of us will ever have to buy our own cow to feed four youngsters under the age of five or grow and can our own food to keep from going hungry, or wait ten years for our husband to finally land a real job. During the Great Depression the author had to subsist on her wits and creativity. Like the time in 1939 when her over-generous husband invited a traveling wayfarer with an expensive camera and a German accent to share the old Virginia farmhouse which, unbeknownst to the author, was near a secret government facility She finally figured out he was a German spy.

Hartford's Ann Plato and the Native Borders of Identity
Upholds Ann Plato as a noteworthy nineteenth-century writer, while reexamining her life and writing from an American Indian perspective. Who was Ann Plato? Apart from circumstantial evidence, theres little information about the author of Essays; Including Biographies and Miscellaneous Pieces, in Prose and Poetry, published in 1841. Plato lived in a milieu of colored Hartford, Connecticut, in the early nineteenth century. Although long believed to have been African American herself, she may also, Ron Welburn argues, have been American Indian, like the father in her poem The Natives of America. Combining literary criticism, ethnohistory, and social history, Welburn uses Plato as an examp...
