There are two sides to every story?
On the one hand, Ronald Daise, a performer, writer, singer, and expert in the Gullah Geechee dialect, performs the life story of Minus Hamilton, an 88-year old formerly enslaved man. Hamilton told his life story to Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson (commander of the First South Carolina Volunteers) who transcribed Hamilton’s Gullah dialect in his Civil War Journal. Hamilton recounted what happened to him and his wife, Hagar, on the morning of the raid when he escaped bondage on James L. Paul’s Plantation.
On the other hand, Roger Simpson, an actor, re-enacts a letter Joshua Nicholls (who resided on Longbrow Plantation), wrote to a friend, which was published in the Charleston Mercury on June 19, 1863. In it, Nicholls laments the loss of his plantation, enslaved population, and library in the raid.
