(3) 4-6 Photographs by Lori Epstein. In engaging anecdotal prose, Delano introduces Washington's Mount Vernon plantation, focusing on conditions and lives of his slaves. Each chapter contains period art, staged photographs of historical reenactors, and a detailed profile of a specific slave. Most fascinating here is the presentation of Washington's evolving, revolutionary opinion on slavery, culminating in a provision for their freedom in his will. Timeline. Bib., ind.
