Insurrection at Bayou Sara: In A Foreign Country – Journeys of a Southerner, Book 2 of a series

In Insurrection at Bayou Sara we witness the steady rise of Percy Moorhead, a young Southerner who is, by turns, a soldier in the Mexican War, a law student, a New Orleans attorney, a husband and father, and the heir to a cotton plantation, and the painful descent he experiences until he loses all. The seeds of disaster were present as he began his journey, though he was unaware. Stung by deaths, losses and betrayal, Percy must struggle with his own doubts and weakness to prevent a final plunge into chaos for those closest to him, even as the bonds holding together the wider communities of state and country are themselves disintegrating. The corrosive effects of African slavery on a Louisiana plantation family in the decade before the Civil War reach their climax in a threatened insurrection at Bayou Sara. The novel is an absorbing and astonishingly accurate recreation of antebellum Louisiana.
