January in Slavery: An Oral Narrative of the South

Cal M. Logue's January in Slavery: An Oral Narrative of the South (CreateSpace, 2013) has received bronze (3rd place) recognition for Creative Non-Fiction from eLit Electronic Book Awards 2014 (elitawards.com), and tie for bronze for Best Southeast Non-Fiction from Independent Publisher Book Awards 2014 (independentpublisher.com/article.php?page=1791). Dawing from recollections available in interviews conducted with African Americans who lived under slavery, January in Slavery offers insights into their fortitude, endurance, means of grappling with harsh conditions, devotion to family, support of friends, care and protection of children, desire to read and write, pride of dress, skill in workmanship, faith in God, desire for freedom, and determination to resist and escape.
