Author Todd portrays the life of an early-nineteenth-century South Carolina slave and acclaimed potter named Dave, who was owned by Todd's ancestors. Describes the ceramic vessels, many of which Dave inscribed with his name and original poetry--even though slave literacy was illegal. Uses primary sources to reconstruct the era. 2008.
