Some have called him a slave, minister, a family man,
murderer, and a revolutionary. Nat Turner is the
controversial figure who rose from the ashes of
obscurity to leaving and indelible impression of
religious rigor and bloodshed on the very fabric of
America; and quite possibly the world. Here is the story
of a slave who was one of body but not of the mind and
the spirit. Nat Turner, a slave himself, who would lead
(60) other slaves to commit the unthinkable…the murder
of (55) white women and children during the slave
revolt at Southampton, Virginia in 1831. Even after his
eventual capture and subsequent execution, Nat Turner
stood by his actions and convictions because he believed
that he was an instrument of God, and if it required the
killing of white women and children to bring America
into the light that its own hands were purged in the
blood of the African slave; so be it!
In this book I plan to chronicle who the real Nat Turner
was…a slave, minister, and finally, an African American
hero. I will utilize scholarly books from noted authors
who proved that many of us have been mis-educated about
Nat Turner.
Patrick Henry who history scholars call one of the
Founding Fathers once said “Give me liberty or give me
death”. Nat Turner attempted to take liberty by force
for the freedom of all African American slaves, and in
the end welcomed death with open arms.

A Biographical History of African Americans is the most
comprehensive, pocket sized, scholarly volume on African
American biography published in the last three decades.
The book gives an introductory overview to African
American history, followed by a selection of notable
African American subjects, arranged in four topical and
chronological periods. It is diverse as to gender,
geography and vocations. The work has been particularly
concerned with profiling notable subjects who have not
appeared in other dictionaries, directories or
encyclopedias. While it can be used as a text or
supplementary reader as well as a general reference
work, its readable style will also appeal to a popular
audience.

On Monday, December 1,1986, Glen Dunnam almost lost his
life in a “three-wheeler” accident. While on a hunting
expedition, Glen was riding his three-wheeler when an
unseen half-inch steel cable that was stretched across
the road hit his neck. The cable nearly decapitated him,
severing his trachea, esophagus and the nerves leading
to his voice box. Miraculously, his jugular veins and
spinal cord were undamaged. His rapid recovery baffled
the doctors who said his recovery was indeed “miraculous.”

This is the story of a little boy searching for his
identity.
A boy born into a world of turmoil and havoc; a world
where not all was well; where war, starvation and bombs;
confusion, lies, and deceit; were the rule, and food,
safety and happiness were the exception.
A boy without a heritage. A boy in search of his past. A
boy in search of his biological father.
It is the story of a little boy's fears and anxieties in
a country far, far away where life was an uncertainty
and death a looming promise; where the world was upside
down.
But a boy, that, with the help of his family, rose above
the devastation suffered as a child and became a man
loved and respected by others.
It is not a story of failure!
It is, really, when you think about it a story of success
and triumph!
