Some of the narratives are really quite compelling and a far cry from the  
Uncle Tom's Cabin scenario.  An example is:
 
    Dis is de way we was livin w'en de Civil war  broke out. We was livin' a 
happy life, an' our Master was kind an' good to  us. We never thought about 
any 'sonsibility of how de money was to cum from. We  would have been satisfied 
to live dis way de rest of our lives.
