Nottoway: The House that Once Stood Tall

by Donald Shaw

Towering white columns, endless sugarcane fields, and the grandeur of Greek Revival architecture veil a complex and often painful past- one that still whispers through the walls of Nottoway Plantation. Built in 1859 on the banks of the Mississippi River, Nottoway was a symbol of Southern wealth and ambition. But behind its opulence lies the story of the enslaved people whose labor made such grandeur possible. This book reveals the duality of a place of breathtaking beauty and unbearable truth.
This book takes you on a journey into the haunting beauty of the Old South with The House that Once Stood Tall, a journey through one of America's most iconic plantations
