Set in 1857 by Liberty Dendron, Human Cattle digs deep to bring the story of slavery in the South full circle-from concealment to recovery. A powerful masterwork of passion and scholarship. A stunning literary achievement that brilliantly illuminates one of the most extraordinary events in the long, dark history of slavery in America.
