Though overseers played crucial roles in managing and perpetuating the plantation culture of the American South, they remain shadowy figures on an otherwise widely studied landscape. This book canvasses the period from 1650 through 1865 and presents an investigation into the multifaceted roles of this oft-forgotten figure in plantation society.
