About the Book

When the Civil War ended, Samuel Jenks freed seven hundred slaves and gave them their dwellings. He kept his plantation mansion, but divided the profits from his cotton fields, gins and cotton mill equally with his freed slaves. He allowed them African ways and African law, enforced by a Tribal Chief, aided with a mix of American justice. They spoke English, a slang version, hard to understand. By 1938, the plantation was a town with over two thousand souls. The Chief enforced the law with one hundred warriors. Chief, Jack Sexing known as"Bull Rush" owned the only business in the town the citizens of Some did not reap a profit from. He owned a honky tonk and every woman in it. Any attempt to take one of his brown sugars ended in death. He was the judge, jury and handman. Doctor Jenks, a descendant of Samuel, was the only White man in Some, a doctor, and he cleaned up the Chiefs mess. and a lot of bodies. Jack took the idea of anyone challenging his authority to task and death was the solution. He used the myth of voodoo and conjured up a Witch Doctor named Grizz Moun and used him to control the population. That worked well until the Duke boys come back from the war as heroes. Much attention was given the town to celebrate the brave boys until Alabama lawmakers found out the boys were black. When politicians come to Some and found no equal but separate facilities the law showed up, White law. They took over the town and run Bull Rush into the mountains. White control reigned until all the White lawmen woke one morning with Black skin one morning. That is when the fortunes of Some and in a state of confusion started a gunfight with each other killing several White lawmen. The doctor had a hand in the mystery but could not be found, and an educated Black man from Opp come to town and took control. He used the law of Alabama against itself and gain a government within a government. He helped found an Indian Reservation. That is when the Dukes boys come back home. The man from Opp got the Reservation started by was not elected to run the town. One Duke rose to a powerful CIA position while the other became chief of an Indian Reservation and out of the control of bigoted Alabamian politicians.
