His story is filled with exciting, sometimes heart breaking adventures, and what is most amazing, his dream of land ownership, almost impossible for a black person to accomplish in the post Civil War South, becomes reality. But at fourteen, Paul Edward runs away to seek his fortune.
Paul Edward’s white father sees to it that he and his sister have many of the privileges their white half brothers enjoy. Though not an unusual heritage, his upbringing is. Born during the Civil War, Paul Edward is the son of a white plantation owner and a former slave.
The story begins with Paul Edward Logan, grandfather of Cassie Logan, the beloved protagonist of Newbery Medal winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. But where did this valuable legacy come from? Living in the South in the not so distant past, the Logans are the only black family to own farmland, while most of their black neighbors are sharecroppers on white owned land. Millions of fans have followed the Logan family in their seven book series.
