Following a recent presentation to the Military Officers of America Association, I was approached by a member with some neat information. It seems that his wife's family has a rich southern planter heritage.
I was looking for just such a connection. She provided me with a good deal of documentation; and presto. I now have a plantation family in South Carolina to use in my novel Honor Restored. This third novel in the trilogy The Drieborg Chronicles is set in the Reconstruction Era.
This Edisto Island plantation family must come to grips with the challenge of rebuilding with a newly freed work force and a changed social order.
Elsewhere, my protagonist, Michael Drieborg struggles with Washington intreague and Carolina Regulators.
