Really 2 1/2 stars - the story was good but quite violent and depressing in places.

Fairly good.
Noted during my 1980's attempt to read every book in my small town library.
Guy Falks es un joven que vive en el sur de EEUU durante el siglo XIX, cuya familia se dedica al cultivo de una gran plantación sureña llamada Roble Claro.
Su padre, Wes, le enseña desde pequeño lo que significa ser un Falks y que siempre debe haber Falks en Roble Claro, así que esta es la bandera que lleva el joven Guy durante toda su vida.
Los azares del destino llevan al protagonista a viajar por todo el mundo. Primero, como capitán de un barco negrero, viaja a África y allí se familiariza con el comercio y transporte de esclavos desde África hasta América para trabajar en las plantaciones del sur. También viaja por toda Europa y por Inglaterra para conocer a la otra rama de la familia. Pero el origen de su familia no es lo show more que parece... show less
