Rating:  Summary: TOUCHING Review: I am one of the many family members of Jasper R. Nall. The most exciting moment for me was when I completed the reading of this wondeful book that my great-great-grandfather left to me. It bought tears to my eyes to think that he loved me so much, to the point that he was moved to leave a part of himself for all of us in the family to share. I was only 2 years old when he passed away, but it feels as if I knew him through his words. I recommend everyone to read the book, if you haven't already. Sincerely, Ms. Gonnie Goins (decedent of RJN)

Rating:  Summary: Unexpected revelations! Review: This small book has a surprising message of slave loyalty and affection for the white master. It was a pleasure to read, took about 2 hours, and I couldn't put it down. Brought back a lot of memories of stories my Grandma told about our ancestors in Alabama. I am descended from Nall slave owners and, although I've always been ashamed of that, this humble story creates more of an understanding of that day and time for me. I highly recommend it for anyone.

Rating:  Summary: A blast from the past Review: This was a short easy to read book. Don't be fooled by the length! This book was full of power. Jasper was a incredible man. He gives an insight on what it is to be born a free man, but still be oppressed. But rather than walking with his head down, he leads a prosperous life. Thank you Jasper for documenting your life before you passed. It enables me to share our history with my children.
