More DescriptionIt was October of 1862 when the Confederate army made their retreat from the Battle of Georgia Landing in Louisiana. The rebels fought hard, but were overwhelmed by Union artillery. As they began their retreat, one soldier stopped to see a mixed-blood slave girl he long desired as she gathered what she could to flee from the battleground. He would not go without satisfaction, consensual or otherwise. When the girl was able, she ran, and did not stop until the growing baby in her womb forced her to seek help along an unfamiliar riverbank. She bore a pale-skinned daughter and called her Bree Callahan. Hoping her daughter could have a better life were she not of slave lineage, Coffey passed Bree as a white orphan in her care. Coffey and Bree were poor, but they did what they could to get along, moving from the small village where Bree was born to the growing town of Colorado City. In a time when people gave harsh judgement to those who were different, trouble found young Bree, and she fled north. Finally, settling in Cheyenne Wyoming, the girl slowly built a better life for herself. Still, happiness was an elusive quarry.
