Last Plantation

I read this book when it first came out, then again a couple years ago. I love anything I can get my hands on, on the subject of the Civil War. After I read a story, I want to visit the area. There are so many emotions we still carry over that war, proud that we could come back together, but a sadness at the cost of life it took. This is a book that will have you doing a lot of thinking about life.....

Absolutly gripping, could not put this book down! Awesome details of historical accuracy. I literraly fell in love with the characters, could feel their pain, longing, and laughter. One of the best books I have ever read. BRAVO Mr Wright!!!

This is a great novel. Recently an old REAL plantation, known as the 'Fairview' Farm was purchased and is now being developed with expcnsive homes and the title the develepment is 'The Last Plantation'. It is located just South-West of Gallatin, TN. We need to have this novel republished and the author, Mr. Wright, is presently the Mayor of Gallatin. This old plantation, Fairview Farm, is not the one Mr Wright writes of (I think) but it really existed and still does. My mother and grandfather worked on this farm in the 1910-1920 period. Thank you. (I wish I had a hundred copies of it) (I have one on order and will try to have Mr Wright autograph and send to my sister in Shawnee Mission KS) If this can be reprinted it is more than twice the price shown.

This book should appeal to many different types of readers. Civil War buffs will love it. The war is much more real to me now. It should definitely be read by anyone living in Middle Tennessee, especially Sumner County. There's action and romance. I can't wait to read the rest of Don Wright's books.

I read this book for a college course I was taking and wasn't too excited about having to read it. Within a few pages I knew why the teacher had recommended it to me. It is still one of the best books I've ever read. It has everything comedy, tragedy, romance, and action. The characters touched me as if they were real and I was a privlidged participant in their lives. I still laugh when I think of Cotton and I still wonder what happened to Clayton later in life. This is a must read for any one interested in an a great epic novel.
