520 "[This book offers] glimpses into Texas society in the
time of slavery. Each story unfolds along boundaries--
between men and women, slave and free, black and white,
rich and poor, old and young--as rigid social orders are
upset in ways that drive people into the courtroom. One
case involves a settler in a rural county along the
Colorado River, his thirty-year relationship with an
enslaved woman, and the claims of their children as heirs.
A case in East Texas arose after an owner refused to pay
an overseer who had shot one of her slaves. Another case
details how a free family of color carved out a life in
the sparsely populated marshland of Southeast Texas, only
to lose it all as waves of new settlers "civilized" the
county. An enslaved woman in Galveston who was set free in
her owner's will--and who got an uncommon level of support
from her attorneys--is the subject of another case. In a
Central Texas community, as another case recounts,
citizens forced a Choctaw native into court in an effort
to gain freedom for his slave, a woman who easily "passed"
as white. The cases considered here include Gaines v.
Thomas, Clark v. Honey, Brady v. Price, and Webster v.
Heard. All of them pitted communal attitudes and values
against the exigencies of daily life in an often harsh
place. Here are real people in their own words, as
gathered from trial records, various legal documents, and
many other sources. People of many colors, from diverse
backgrounds, weave their way in and out of the narratives.
We come to know what mattered most to them--and where
those personal concerns stood before the law."--|cProvided
