"Reviewed By Carol Thompson for Readers' Favorite

Return to Southampton County, the third installment in the Self-Liberation of Parson Sykes Trilogy by David J. Mason, is an exploration of the Reconstruction Era through the lens of one man's journey from enslavement to freedom. Mason intricately weaves historical events with personal narratives, offering a vivid portrayal of the challenges and triumphs faced by Parson Sykes and his family. The book captures the essence of the Reconstruction period, highlighting the complexities of integrating formerly enslaved individuals into a society still grappling with the consequences of the Civil War. Mason's meticulous research is apparent as he recounts Parson's enlistment in the Union Army, his return to Southampton County, and his efforts to navigate a world rife with systemic racism and political betrayal. The narrative is enriched by detailed accounts of historical milestones, such as the ratification of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, and the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau.

Parson's transformation from an enslaved teenager to a combat veteran and civil rights advocate is inspiring. His journey highlights the importance of education, land ownership, and political participation in gaining true freedom. David J. Mason effectively depicts the emotional and physical costs of Parson's experiences, helping readers understand the depth of his struggles and the importance of his achievements. Mason's writing is informative and engaging. The inclusion of family anecdotes and oral histories connects the past to the present. The author's dedication to preserving his family's legacy is evident, and his portrayal of Parson Sykes is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and justice. Return to Southampton County is a valuable contribution to historical literature, offering a unique perspective on the Reconstruction Era. It is a must-read for those interested in Civil War history, Black genealogy, and the fight for civil rights."
