The Garden of Eden: The Story of a Freedmen's Community in Texas
Drew Sanders
A few minutes from downtown Fort Worth, the Garden of Eden neighbourhood has endured for well over a century as a homeplace for freed African American slaves and their descendants. Major and Malinda Cheney assembled over 200 acres of productive farmland on which they raised crops and cattle. Their great-great-grandson, Drew Sanders, recounts engaging tales of the family's life in this volume.
