Slavetaker: The Promise

By James N. Littlefield

During the dark days of the American Civil War, promises, sometimes

spoken and sometimes unspoken, might often be all people had left to

keep up their spirits and give them hope. Cynthia and Coswell Tims'

survival would depend on such a promise. Their alliance was a strong

one, but escaped lunatics, jealous neighbors, ruthless slave speculators,

emboldened home guards, Yankee invaders and ever-present racism

would test their resolve.

Expertly written and historically grounded, the saga of Coswell

Tims and his wife, Cynthia, continues on through the perils of war and

change. From two diaries, the author draws forth the story of a southern

Civil War era family and with the aid of a modern side story, offers

the reader a compelling case for what true love can make possible.
