This was a book of short interviews from people that were slaves or their relatives were slaves.  Some lived to be 60 to over or near 100 years old.  They discussed their living conditions, their work, their families, their children, their masters good and bad.  They did have recreation time and time for church.  The masters took good care of their sick so they could get back to work. They talked about the Union Soldiers helping them out during the war.  They discussed after the war when they were free and how hard it was without any education to get work some stayed on the plantations.  I enjoy American history.
