Description: OFFERING A FIRST EDITION of "SARAH JOHNSON'S MOUNT VERNON" BY SCOTT E. CASPER"THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF AN AMERICAN SHRINE" SEE VIEWS ABOVE FROM THE FLYLEAF: "...Mount Vernon is a place where memories of George Washington and the era of America's birth are carefully preserved and recreated. But behind the familiar stories lies a history...visitors never hear: the experiences of the hundreds of African Americans who played an essential part in creating and maintaining this American shrine during the century after Washington's death. ...Sarah Johnson...spent more than fifty years at Mount Vernon, in slavery and after emancipation. Through her life (the author) provides an intimate picture of Mount Vernon's operation during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries...recounting in vivid detail the lives of these African Americans which for too long has been lost to history and erased from public memory."
