Moses Supposes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Good book if you are a Roper and would like to know more about your ancestry. Moses was part black slave, part white Roper so his trials in life are interesting to White Ropers and Black Ropers. Hmmm? Does this mean I get to go to more family reunions than I do now? Good little book for the house to leave out and about, too. you'll get comments even if you are ot a Roper. Get it.
