Summary
Based on a true story, rediscover an extraordinary story with ordinary roots.
Thomas and Othello Fraction are brothers and best friends who had heard, and let no one forget, that they were descendants of an African nobleman whose tribal scars looked like tiger stripes. But here they were in America, considered three-fifths of a person, and fighting two battles: one for the nation and one for themselves. Hear the story that leads up to a “guns drawn” standoff, and learn how the Fraction family came to America, contributed to the Civil War, survived murder attempts on their lives, and eventually settle outside of Blacksburg, Virginia, as Southern refugees.
