Inheriting the Trade: A Northern Family Confronts Its Legacy As the Largest Slave Trading Dynasty in US History

$20

Inheriting the Trade by Thomas Norman DeWolf

Inheriting the Trade brings the sordid past alive and seems even more real because it takes place in the town where I live, Bristol, RI. The DeWolf family and their many descendants still live here today. This well-written book traces the story and brings to light how things used to be and the legacies they leave for future generations to grapple with. A great book if you are unfamiliar with this story or are visiting Bristol and want some excellent history about this particularly dark time in our town.
