McFeely retells the history--and enters the current-day lives--of the people who inhabit Sapelo's Island off the coast of Georgia, descendants of slaves who once worked its plantations. It is a richly detailed work of historical reconstruction, a sensitive portrait of black Americans in this place and in our own time, and a moving meditation on race.

Reader reviews for Sapelo's People: A Long Walk Into Freedom

From the publisher

In this moving and original work, William S. McFeely, one of this country's most distinguished historians, retells the history--and enters into the current-day lives--of the people who inhabit Sapelo's Island off the coast of Georgia, descendants of slaves who once worked its huge cotton plantations. It is at once a richly detailed work of historical reconstruction, a sensitive portrait of the lives of black Americans in this particular place and in our own time, and a moving meditation on race by a writer who has made its painful dilemmas his life's work as a historian.

First line

I went back to the island, went back to a place I scarcely know and yet feel compelled to come to know, to a scattering of houses on roads, not all of which I've taken, to Hog Hammock.
