The Floor: A Chase-Mackall Adventure, A True Story of Faith, Tobacco, and Freedom in Calvert County, Maryland - Paperback

by Wesley F. Chase (Author)

In Maryland's Calvert County, the Chase-Mackall saga unfolds, charting a family's rise from the depths of forced labor to the dignity of autonomy. Overcoming the legacy of slavery and sharecropping, they weather historical upheavals from the War of 1812 to nuclear age awakenings. This heritage tale celebrates their indomitable spirit, chronicling a transition from toil-bound life to one rooted in faith and choice-an emancipation of soul and self-will. Here, a ledger of hardships transforms into a record of triumph, marking the unyielding growth of a lineage once bound by the land's demands, now sowing seeds of liberty and hope for generations to come.
