Description
A transcript of an Ex-Slave Narrative interview conducted by Sheldon F. Gauthier for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers Project in the 1930s with Annie Row. Row was born in about 1851 on Chas Finnely's plantation in Nacogdoches County, Texas. Row describes her life growing up there, recalling times when Chas and his wife would deal out physical punishment to Annie and the others. There is also an incident about William Finnely standing up for her well being and another serious incident when emancipation happened that Chas Finnely was going to shoot the field workers.
