Description

Gold Dust is a mystery novel. It begins in Charleston, South Carolina at the beginning of the 19th Century – 1803, with the birth of a mulatto child named Eliza. The mother is white, and the father is white. So how did this mulatto child come into being? The family assumed the mother had been unfaithful with one of their slaves, and the child was given away, taken by a Creek trader to middle Georgia. This book is her story, the story of a child abandoned to a life of slavery, and the unravelling of her heritage by her mother, who eventually goes in search of her lost child. Intermixed with the story is the story of slavery in America, beginning from the first slave ships to deliver slaves to the New World, the economic impact of the invention of the cotton gin on the slave trade, and the eventual war to rid the country of the evils of slavery. The story touches on some of the greatest mysteries of the old South, including the story of the Lost Colony, the and the missing Confederate gold. Never missing a beat, the story combines the evils of the slave trade with a great ride through Native American history, the Underground Railroad, the Trail of Tears, and the cannibals of the Caribbean. Be careful where you step. You might step on an alligator! Mb, 2018.
