I am the author, and LaPlata County Series, Book Two is the culmination of years of study about an era and part of the South my people helped develop. Both novels in this series are a tribute to both the Black and White people of Amite County Mississippi. After considerable research into Black English, I have made an endeavor to write the dialogue of slaves and former slaves somewhat close to the way they spoke the language; this is not to ridicule but to preserve a way of life that needs preserved. (Book Cover) Luther Butler continues his LaPlata County Series. James Butler's (alias James Wilkerson) descendents find themselves caught up in a conflict that tears him and his Black comrade, Charles Ray, from the Amite County farm to a dangerous Yankee prisoner of war camp. MISSISSIPPI WOMAN continues the series after the Civil War. Nat Wilkerson's wife, Sally Ann, loses the Amite County farm and moves to Fort Worth, Texas where, for health reasons, two of her sons leave for LaPlata County, Colorado where the mountains touch the sky. A section of Fort Worth is called, "Hell's Half Acre." Here Bret Sloan took the exslaves from Mississippi and opened a house of prostitution. Like the characters in GONE WITH THE WIND, AMITE COUNTY'S people adjust to a South that is lost in gun smoke and fancy mirrors.
