Summary: Isaac Ross died in 1836, and his will stipulated that his Mississippi plantation be sold and the proceeds used to provide passage for his slaves to the new colony of Liberia. This book discusses the battle over the will (which was ultimately upheld), and the results of those slaves' emigration to Liberia.
