About the Book:
Howard Parker White was born during the Depression to tenant farmer parents. The place was once a plantation, but the present occupants were two old men and two old ladies. Two of them were born before the Civil War, and two of them after the war. A large two-story house, a smokehouse, chicken pens, and a barn stood. The house and buildings are gone, and the land has been chopped into small plots. What could have happened to that family? The story is about the farm of William Arthur Tunstall, who was raised as a Quaker. He left his home in Pennsylvania and traveled south to the Charleston colony in about 1730 to become an Indian trader. He married the daughter of a Cherokee Town Chief. He became the translator for the tribe and began trading for land in the Carolina Colony; after 40 years, he had accumulated 8,000 acres. The old chief made him promise never to sell or trade the land. Through seven generations, the family kept that promise and now operates with its 7th Great-grandson, who is 87 years old and has no one to pass the torch to. Since he cannot sell or trade the land, he must find a way to ensure the promise can be kept.
