About the Book

A deputy sheriff fires a shot at a Native American male-a father of four young children. The bullet shatters his skull; the killing leads to an upheaval in rural Bolton County. The people of Bolton seek a redress in the official corruption and skewed fundamental criminal justice system. County residents-poor Whites, Indians and Blacks-overcome their social and racial differences to organize a united coalition to press for fair and equitable treatment for all citizens. The movement leads to further bloodshed and atrocities. Readers will discover the final outcome of this fact-based fiction, and learn much more about the lives and times of these diverse people of Bolton County.
About the Author: Herbert H. Locklear was born in 1932 in Robeson County, North Carolina. A Native American of the Lumbee Tribe, he developed an enduring love for "the land," the country life, and the people who lived on and tilled the soil. After high school, Locklear attended Pembroke State College at Pembroke, North Carolina. He took a break from college and enlisted in the U.S. Army. He served two years. He used the G.I. Bill to complete his college education at Pembroke. He taught briefly in the Robeson County public school system. In 1958 he moved, with his family, to Baltimore, Maryland; he became a case worker for the state of Maryland, a job he held for thirty-seven years. He retired in 1996. Locklear was very active in his community and church. He was a Trustee, a Sunday School teacher, and a chorister. He also served on several boards and committees where the focus was bringing remedial help to the poor and dispossessed. As a community activist, he led an effort to help the cause of social and political reforms among the city's Native American population. Locklear soon developed a wide-ranging reputation as an advocate for people in distress. He led a movement aimed at assuring a fair and equal "Justice System" in the tri-racial Robeson County. Herb, as he was known by friends and co-workers, was attacked and murdered by armed robbers on April 18, 2000, in a motel room in Lumberton, North Carolina. He was 67.
