Twilight of the Dawn

Description

In 1860, widower Oliver Cannon, his children Gabriele and Tom and their Aunt Mat live harmoniously at Felicity, a 5000-acre plantation worked by 230 slaves. As acrimony builds alarmingly between the North and the South, the slavery issue divides the Cannons. Fearing that Tom may marry her octaroon slave, Veronique, Aunt Mat refuses to free the girl, despite Gabriele's entreaties. Tom, aided by his friend, Alex St. Cyr, risks everything to help Veronique escape to New Orleans.
