Chapter 2. Don’t Tief!

(A different perspective on property)

 

Cousin Corrie occasionally recounted stories that old “Dr. Wardie,” beloved physician of Brookgreen Plantation (and a great-grandson of Rachel and Henry Flagg) had told her many years previously. This was a story Dr. Wardie had heard from his aunt, “Miss Bessie.” He, Cousin Corrie, and Miss Bessie all enjoyed the story because it revealed that high and mighty rice planters of olden times didn’t always have everything their own way.
