PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Nov. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Patricia Taylor, a native of Missouri who was raised on a farm, has had years of experience in uncovering the heart and soul of the characters of her novel, has completed her new book "The Ghost of Oak Cliff Plantation", a thrilling tale that describe how in order not to lose what they had worked so hard to achieve, the threesome joined a wagon train that was leaving for Missouri.
Taylor writes, "In the midst of the Irish potato famine, Maggie Sloan and Roy Gordon, a newlywed couple and the groom's best friend, Dr. Marcos Tanner, bravely decided to move to North America and begin a new life. After arriving in Kentucky the threesome purchased a tobacco farm and became the owners of forty-three Negro adults and fifteen Negro children, who were slaves of the previous landowner. Because of Maggie's strong belief in humanity, she immediately informed everyone they would never own people so the Negros had a choice. They could either leave or stay and work for food and a place to sleep, and they chose the latter. The next few years were beyond difficult. They survived an Indian raid, a redneck attack that burned their house to the ground and much, much more. In order not to lose what little they had left, they joined a wagon train that was leaving for Missouri."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Patricia Taylor's intriguing work describes how two months later, when they reached the small town of Columbia, Missouri they immediately felt this was a perfect place to call home. Within a week they purchased a deserted plantation twelve miles from Columbia and immediately named it Oak Cliff Plantation. Following Maggie's death, Roy and Doc Tanner turned the plantation into the largest slave breeding farms in the Midwest. Shortly after the Civil War ended, Oak Cliff Plantation was converted into a horse-breeding farm that thrived through the next four generations of the Gordon family.
