Freedom's Child
by Carrie Allen McCray
In Carrie Allen McCray's memories of her childhood is the recurring image of a framed photograph on her mother's bedroom mantelpiece. It showed a white man in uniform. She remembers wondering who he was, but being afraid to ask. This book is the result of her decision to ask. What she found out was that the white man in uniform was her mother's father, John Robert Jones of Harrisonburg, Virginia, a retired brigadier general in the Confederate States Army. Her mother's mother, Malinda Rice, a freed slave, was his servant. Their child, Mary, was born eleven years after the end of the Civil War. Malinda Rice died when her two children by the general were still very young. Though the Rice family raised Mary and her brother, their white father recognized them publicly and paid for Mary's education. For this, he was cast out of society and belittled by contemporary Civil War historians. But Mary grew up to become a college graduate, a teacher, wife of the president of Virginia Seminary and, as his widow, acting president, wife of a leading African-American lawyer, mother of ten children, and lifelong activist working for what she called "full freedom" for African-Americans. Freedom's Child is a loving remembrance of how this beautiful and very determined woman spent her life beating down barriers to equality. Carrie McCray's memories reward us with an extraordinarily vivid and intimate portrait of a woman who overcame the legacy of scandal to pass on a legacy of personal courage, conviction, love, and joy. But perhaps even more remarkable is a black woman's slow acceptance of a white Confederate general as her grandfather and her public acknowledgment of his legacy to her - the courage toaccept kinship across racial taboos.
Heart of the Trail
by Mary Barmeyer O'Brien
Women played an extraordinary role in the westward movement, but many historical accounts of the great migration overlook or inadequately detail women's tremendous contributions and sacrifices. Fortunately, many women recorded their experiences in diaries, letters, and memoirs. These writings offer priceless insights into life on the trail. Using such first-hand accounts, author Mary O'Brien tells us of eight individual women's private dreams plus the mundane details of covered-wagon life. The stories represent the broad cross-section of women who traveled west. Amelia Knight's diary details the birth of her eighth child on the Oregon Trail; the letters of 66-year-old Grandma Brown describe how she abandoned her wagon and continued her journey on horseback. These exceptional women arouse admiration and respect for their sheer grit and endurance.
