The Slaves of Liberty: Freedom in Amite County, Mississippi, 1820-1868
"This study focuses on the lives of the black slave majority in the deep South in the mid-19th century. The topics of civil law, demographics, the role of the church, family life, plantation economics, and gender issues are all revealed through careful study of primary sources previously unexamined by historians. The author has meticulously researched newspapers, court transcripts, county archives, church minutes, plantation journals, and oral histories to produce an astonishingly detailed picture of the lives of blacks and whites during this critical period. The readable narrative was nominated for the Allan Nevins Prize for dissertations in American history in 1993."Family Maps of Attala County, Mississippi, Deluxe EditionUnity Baptist Church: West, Mississippi

The BURRUS Family, Bolivar County, MississippiPocock Pickle - Louisa's 1863 Journal, Bolivar County, MississippiBy Louisa BURRUS
Original Document: Acknowledging the receipt of a payment, in an autograph endorsement to another transaction, recorded in pencil on his letterhead, "Office of B. K. Bruce, Sheriff of Bolivar County," set in ornamented display faces and signed by Bruce (undated, but circa 1873)
From the Seller: "BRUCE, Blanche K. (1841-1898; senator from Mississippi, 1875-1881, the first African-American elected to a full term in the U.S. Senate). Bruce rose rapidly in politics. Having attended Oberlin College, he moved to Mississippi in 1868 to begin his life as a planter; he was named sergeant-at-arms of the state senate in 1870, was appointed assessor of Bolivar County in 1871, became the sheriff in 1872, and was elected to the U.S. Senate two years later. "He served creditably for six years from 1875- 1881" (DAB). From 1881 until his death he served in several official posts, including recorder of deeds, in Washington, D.C. His autograph from the Washington years is readily available; those from his years as a public official in Mississippi quite scarce. 5 x7 3/4 inches (lower half of larger sheet removed). Folded as for filing; two finger-tip size ink spots, one obscuring part of two letters in Bruce's name. "
