This book is the work of 19th-century journalist Mortimer Thomson, who wrote under the pseudonym “Q. K. Philander Doesticks." Originally written as a pamphlet, it details the sale of enslaved laborers owned by Pierce Meese Butler, the wealthy Georgia plantation owner and former husband of famed actress Fannie Kemble. Over two hundred enslaved laborers were auctioned off over two days in 1859. Thomson meticulously recounts not just the sale of people but also their stories, primarily heartbreaking, that breathe life into the souls of those treated as chattel.
This is a great primary source and a beautifully written account of the lives and personal connections of people held in bondage.

Very difficult info to take in but superb documentation of “The Weeping Time.”
