On Jordan's Stormy Banks: Personal Accounts of Slavery in Georgia

Rating:
Summary: A great addition to the series
Review: This collection of Georgia interviews of the WPA slave Narratives (interviews with ex-slaves done in the 1930s) is a fine addition to the series. Pretty good stuff here with excellent storytelling. What's really fascinating is the former slave of Georgia Sen. J.H. Hill (whose name is not given) and his recollection of the Atlanta Riot of 1906 as well as slavery. That's the beauty of this series. These accounts give you a lot of well-told firsthand information that the history books missed. BTW-This is a tad thicker than other volumes of the series.
