HISTORIAN LAND

This book is a multi cultuer book about how the white people owned the color people.When the none color people owned the color folks they put them into hard slavery.The theme of the book is about a slave owner child who feels bad for his slave.The setting is on a farm where it's a dirty barn house and in the real house the rooms are small.The conflict is that the people besides the boy hit the slave many of times.One specifics about the book is that most of the people in the state love to own the slaves so the white people won't have to all the hard work around the bulding plus so the slaves have to do all the heavy lifting to make a brick wall for the house.I disliked the book cause I did not like the part when the people forced the slaves to do the hard labor.

The Land Review

I really liked the way this book seems is so honest potraying life a long time ago, and you get such a good image in your mind. There are a lot of similies and metaphors in the book to help you understand more about the setting. Everything in the book gives a very good idea of what would go on between African Americans and Whites in the 1800's. You really get to know the characters in the book, too. This books gives a good display of the struggle for equality. This was overall a really good book.

A great addition to the series

I really loved this book. If you enjoyed the others in this series you will fall in love with "The Land." The story moves along pretty quickly and is really quite interesting.

a beautiful read

i bought this book for my thirteen year old daughter. She hardly put it down until she had read it all from cover to cover. She really enjoyed the book and cannot wait to get her hands on more Mildred D Taylor books.
She gave it the four star rating and said it was a beautiful read.

I agree with many people that the Land is a very interesting and factual story about a boy in the 1860's who was the son of a rich and wealthy landowner, who married an african american after the Civil War was over. It tells how Paul had a great life and was not discriminated when he was young. But when he and his half brother are seperated his half brother turns his back on him and Paul learns that the world is not fair and not everyone is equal. Paul has no friends because when he was with the african americans they think he is too white and when he is with the white people they think he is too dark.

Millions of fans have followed the Logan family in their seven-book series. Living in the South in the not-so-distant past, the Logans are the only black family to own farmland, while most of their black neighbors are sharecroppers on white-owned land. But where did this valuable legacy come from?

The story begins with Paul-Edward Logan, grandfather of Cassie Logan, the beloved protagonist of Newbery Medal-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Born during the Civil War, Paul-Edward is the son of a white plantation owner and a former slave. Though not an unusual heritage, his upbringing is. Paul-Edward's white father sees to it that he and his sister have many of the privileges their white half-brothers enjoy. But at fourteen, Paul-Edward runs away to seek his fortune. His story is filled with exciting, sometimes heart-breaking adventures, and what is most amazing, his dream of land-ownership, almost impossible for a black person to accomplish in the post-Civil War South, becomes reality.

The Land, like all the books in this award-winning series, is based on the experiences of the Taylor family, bringing historical truth and power to this awe-inspiring story.
