But Edward Ball's fascinating book is something different. It tells the epic story of the Harleston family of Charleston, South Carolina -- relatively affluent mixed-race blacks who trace their roots to the illicit relationship between a plantation heir and his slave, and are distantly related to Ball, a white southerner by birth. Through interviews with Edwina Harleston Whitlock, the genteel grandmother who unlocks the secrets of the Harleston archives, Ball interweaves the rich and sometimes tragic family history along with the broad sweep of contemporary events, from the Civil War and Reconstruction through the First World War and Jim Crow laws.

New 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Very Good Cloth First Edition Paul Sandby (1731 (baptised) - 9 November 1809) was an English map-maker turned landscape painter in watercolours, who, along with his older brother Thomas, became one of the founding members of the Royal Academy in 1768. Born in Nottingham, Sandby joined the topographical drawing room of the Board of Ordnance at the Tower of London in the early 1740s and in 1746 was tasked with mapping the remote Scottish Highlands. While undertaking this exacting commission, he began producing watercolour landscapes and news of his talent soon spread. In 1752, he took up a post with his brother producing landscapes of the royal estates at Windsor, and also began producing aquatint engravings, having been commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks to produce 48 plates depicting Welsh scenery. He also drew some caricatures ridiculing William Hogarth. In 1768, he was appointed chief drawing master to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, a position he retained until 1799. He died in London ten years later and was described in his obituaries as 'the father of modern landscape painting in watercolours'. Thomas Sandby (1721 - 25 June 1798) was an English cartographer who later became an architect and teacher and was the Royal Academy's first professor of architecture.
