Publisher Description: Born into slavery in 1831 on Retreat Plantation, St. Simons Island, Neptune became the childhood friend and servant of plantation heir Henry Lord King. Their devoted friendship, which finally evolved into a shared struggle to survive on the Civil War battlefields, is an inspiring example of how two men from completely different backgrounds can stand united as brothers in times of sacrifice and tragedy. This historical account of courage, honor, compassion and loyalty accurately chronicles family records of the man they called Neptune. Award winning author Pamela Bauer Mueller has dreamed of introducing her readers to the history of Georgia's Golden Isles ever since she became a resident of coastal Georgia. In Neptune's Honor, she offers the unforgettable story of a noble servant named Neptune Small. |
