it was amazing

An unaccountable son and "gentleman hero" of the peculiar institution know as slavery.

Misguided, undisciplined and bumbling, Charles Lamar, facilitated by his father, somehow managed to die a hero in a lost cause. This story is a worthy epilogue for the human tragedy that was the slave trade.
