Great Gittin' Up Morning (1980) explores the antebellum period through the eyes of a fictionalized Denmark Vesey and his partners in a slave rebellion that occurred in South Carolina in 1822. Some of slavery's most violent dissidents--Nat Turner, Toussaint L'Ouverture, Denmark Vesey, Gabriel Prosser--weren't exactly intractable field hands. The five-to-six-page chapters range over 400 years of the Palmetto State's past, recounting tales of the aristocratic pirate, Stede Bonnet, the slave uprising led by Denmark Vesey, two kinds of "Carolina gold" (rice and the precious metal), the hand-built automobiles of one-time Ford rival John Anderson, the origin of the dance named after the city of Charleston, and even the devastation of Hurricane Hugo. |
