Family Tree

Walk in the footsteps of a family as they trace their roots through the American South. See the people whose lineage boasts of runaway slaves, Creek warriors, frontiersmen and Indian fighters as they endure life's trials on both sides of the Mississippi. Follow their lives as they weave their way to freedom while enduring famine, internal strife and the hardships and horrors of war. Live as they lived; feel their ultimate struggle for a place in a world and time that gave no quarter. Share the joys and sorrows of a people destined to fade away like the smoke of a forgotten fire only to be rekindled in a hard-won circle of life. Rejoice and celebrate in their victory as evidenced in the echoing cries of their children.
