      About This Book

      The First Black Tycoon chronicles the life of Tyronius, a 19 year old Georgia slave, from 1858 to 1868, who makes an unplanned but necessary escape to save his life. Due to the unstable conditions in the South, including the advent of civil war, he is forced to hide out in plain sight in a neighboring state. This heartwarming and sometimes humorous story, while a cknowledging the realities of slavery, emphasizes the value of kindness, ingenuity and family loyalty which ultimately leads Tyronius to success, freedom and fortune. This novel, while entirely fictional, does include a few historically accurate landmarks and characters in situations which could have actually occurred.
