Meet the author – Erskine Clarke – Erskine Clarke's new book "Dwelling Place: A Plantation Epic" has been critically acclaimed. Using thousands of letters written by the Jones family of Liberty County from 1805 to 1869, Clarke brings to life the suppressed history of the Jones slaves, whose lives were inseparably bound to those of their white owners. Clarke is the Professor of American religious history at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur.
