What is Soaking The Yule Log about?

Soaking the Yule Log covers ten generations of history about several European-American and African-American families from North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. It explores the parallel and interdependent lives of these families from 1749 - 1995 and gives glimpses of social and political impacts on their societies. Soaking the Yule Log features reproductions of many source documents about these slave bills of sale (1792-1860); lists of slaves freed by the Union Army and other slave documents; ante-bellum plantation records; wills/estate settlements; post-war freedmen labor contracts; old, interesting photographs. Soaking the Yule Log satisfies a number of varied interests. It is an excellent "how-to" model - how to research those hard-to-find (slave or indentured) relatives in seldom utilized records, and how to organize and present the data. Soaking the Yule Log , with 514 + xxviii pages, has a 6x9 hard cover, complete name, slave and subject indices, several appendices, bibliography, charts, maps, and illustrations.
