The main correspondents are Major Pierce Butler (1745-1822) slave owner and a signatory of the American Constitution, & the unrelated Rev. Weeden Butler (1742-1823) of London, ancestor of the British politician "Rab" Butler (1902-1982) . Their well-informed opinions offer intriguing insights into history in general, the American Constitution and slavery in particular.
The letters, which are preserved in the British Library, are transcribed in full, annotated & presented with a scholarly Introduction and Sequel by Lord Dunboyne (1917-2004).
A very human saga unfolds & the Sequel ends with an extraordinarily vivid eye-witness account by Mortimer Neal Thomson of The New York Daily Tribune, recording in harrowing detail the 1859 Auction of 429 Slaves in Savannah, Georgia, held to satisfy the creditors of Pierce M.. Butler, grandson of Major Pierce Butler and former husband of the celebrated actress, author and abolitionist Fanny Kemble.
