About this title

Synopsis

Beyond the Rim: From Slavery to Redemption in Rappahannock County, Virginia, is a unique work of black history, telling the true story of "Sis-tah Cah-line" Terry, who toiled as a slave on central Virginia plantations, saw the Civil War, bore the children of a white slavemaster, and endured to live to the age of 108 in 20th Century America. It is lovingly told with humor and imagination by her great-grandson, who as a child heard these stories of slavery days from a fiesty woman who never gave up her thirst for independence and dignity. This unique work has attracted the attention of the Smithsonian Insitution's Anacostia Museum of African-American History, which is working on a documentary film about the author and his stories of great-grandmother Caroline Terry, the slave.

About the Author

James D. Russell, great-grandson of Caroline Terry, is a native of Rappahannock County, Virginia, a World War II veteran, and a natural storyteller. At age 84, he looks back in this book on a life growing up in the village of Sperryville, attending a one-room "colored" school, during the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression of the 1930s. His memories--recounted in a series of oral interviews added to this work about his slave ancenstor--span the days from his memorable meeting with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to his near-brush with death in WWII. He lives in Sperryville, less than a mile from where he was born.
