Lay Down Body: Living History in African American Cemeteries White Slavery in the Barbary States Minutes of the N. C. Manumission Society, 1816-1834 The Large Slaveholders of Louisiana Search Alibris for Dear Ones at Home; Letters from Contraband Camps "Dear Master:" Letters of a Slave Family Resources From  Amazon.com I can personally vouch for the first two of these books.   Slaves in the Family is a fascinating account of author Edward Ball's tracking of the descendants of the slaves his SC ancestors had owned long ago...including some who turned out to be related by blood as well as history. Freedom's Child is a wonderful tribute by Carrie Allen McCray to her mother, who was the daughter of a Confederate general and a black domestic servant, and who became a teacher and a pioneer in the Civil Rights movement. She deals bravely and honestly with the ticklish issue of accepting that hers is a bittersweet heritage, and her loving and vivid descriptions of life in "the olden days" take you back in time.   It's a real treat!  Read the editorial reviews...  Slaves in the Family  Freedom's Child: The Life of a Confederate General's Black Daughter The Freedmen's Bureau in Louisiana Listening For Our Past: A Lay Guide To African American Oral History Interviewing Amongst My Best Men: African Americans and the War of 1812   The Search for Freejoe: Researching the Family's History - Actual Account HARRIS   The Legacy of Tamar: Courage and Faith in an African American Family Haywood County, Tennessee   Slave Narratives - ARKANSAS - Volume II, Part 1 & 2 The Sweeter the Juice: A Family Memoir in Black and White Africans in America: America's Journey...
