This is history at its most compelling-from the Irish sod to the settlement of the South from the Trail of Tears to the battlefield at Manassas from the agonies of slavery to the tribulations of freedom-all rendered with the eye for telling detail and the sense of historical significance that readers have come to expect of Haley.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 13:01:19 Associated-names Stevens, David, 1947- Boxid IA1799007 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Col_number COL-609 Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier His adolescent attraction to the beautiful and strongwilled slave named Easter blossoms into a powerful and lasting love, and from their passionate union comes Queen-the heroine of the tale, Alex Haley’s grandmother. James’s son, Jass Jackson, inherits the plantation just as the genteel, well-ordered antebellum world begins to crumble. He establishes his grand plantation, The Forks of Cypress, in Alabama, while Andrew ascends to the White House, and the rumblings that will explode into the Civil War gather force. On May 24, 1939, Alex Haley began his 20-year service with the U.S. Simon Haley felt that Alex needed discipline and growth and convinced his son to enlist in the military when he turned 18. Queens story revolves around her early years as a slave who yearns to know who her father is, and her condition as a fair skin mixed race woman who spends her life trying to figure out where exactly she fits in. The two men become business partners and James Jackson makes his fortune. At the age of 17 Alex returned home to inform his father of his withdrawal from college. From there we travel with Jackson to Nashville, where he meets Andrew Jackson, the future president of the United States. But he never got around to writing the book. The story begins in Ireland, where Haley’s white great-great-grandfather, James Jackson, Sr., is born. Alex Haley spent 20 years researching Queen, his companion to Roots, compiling a 700-page outline in the process.

Alex Haley, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Roots, tells about his great-great-grandfather, James Jackson, Sr., who came to Alabama from Ireland, married a slave and then fathered a daughter-Haley’s grandmother, Queen.
