In this talk Wright introduces the Mallory and Welch families who moved in 1834 to the wilderness of Alabama recently ceded by the Creek Indians. Their cotton plantations flourished, happy marriages occurred, tragic losses were borne, and, through their own words, we learn of the effects of the Civil War on their lives.
