I felt as though I were there with Neptune, experiencing his life, hearing the subtle billowing of the Atlantic, smelling musty earth odors of the island marshes and feeling the ocean breezes as they blew on Neptune's St. Simons Island. While <i>Neptune's Honor</i> is a very touching and powerful story of love, loyalty and honor, it is based on the life of a privileged slave, and in no way represents the level of intense bondage and deprivation endured by the vast majority of my enslaved ancestors."</p> <p><strong>- William Bernard Barnes Jr. - </strong><strong>Great-great grandson of Neptune Small</strong></p> <p><i>"Neptune's Honor</i> is a moving tale of the ages, for all ages, and is based on a true story! Neptune comes to life as he exemplifies the real essence of the human experience through endurance, commitment, bravery, devotion and, most of all, HONOR! This story of bondage, courage and ultimate freedom in the plantation south is told by Pamela Bauer Mueller with great passion, energy, accuracy and wonderful readability."</p> <p>- <strong>Buddy Sullivan - </strong><strong>Coastal Georgia Historian/Award Winning Author</strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><i> "Neptune's Honor</i> is a moving tale of the ages, for all ages, and is based on a true story!
