Go Down, Moses

Go Down, Moses is a collection of seven stories that together form a novel, telling the composite history of the McCaslin family and the residents of the plantation founded by Carothers McCaslin.

The stories span generations, exploring themes such as slavery, racial relationships, family dynamics, and the connection between individuals and the natural world.

Key stories include 'Was,' 'The Fire and the Hearth,' 'The Bear,' and 'Delta Autumn,' each contributing to the complex tapestry of the McCaslin family's history and the broader social and historical context of the American South before and after the Civil War.
