Long Rows to Hoe recounts the struggles, the failures, and the successes of the first settlers of the Alabama Wiregrass, as well as their descendants, who faced rigorous struggles of their own: Confederate Jackson Knightley may never be able to cleanse his memory of Cold Harbor, when Union troops were slaughtered in a bloodbath that was not war, but murder.  After the death of his Creek wife in Oklahoma, Ephraim Tanner must choose between leaving his newborn son to be raised by her tribe or risking that the infant will be rejected by his white family in the Wiregrass.  And Keziah Cates, the daughter of slaves, must balance her distrust and dislike of whites with her love for the Tomlin children, who have won her heart.  These are just a few of the characters who people Long Rows to Hoe. This first book in the Wiregrass Chronicles series recounts tales, both heartrending and hopeful, with compassion, humor, and an unerring depiction of the people of the Wiregrass from the Creek Wars to World War I 3
