Excerpt from Heart and Soul: A NovelOf what happened after this I recollect nothing till I found myself transplanted to my new home in the Northwest. Many years later, when hunting the shelves of a library for information about my native isle, I learned of an insurrection of slaves in a por tion of Cuba during the year 1844. A full account was given in grewsome detail of the massacre at the Selva Alegre plantation, in which perished Augustin Fremont, Esq., formerly of South Carolina, his wife and baby, his aged father and his overseer. Only one member of the family survived, it stated - an infant boy, hidden for days by a faithful attend ant. This massacre was recorded as ah instance of special ingratitude and bloodthirstiness on the part of the misguided blacks, the Frémont plantation having been noted for the kind treatment of its slaves and the benevolent, paternal character of its ad ministration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
