Last Seen

Last Seen by Judith Giesberg explores the tragic separations of families during slavery and the relentless efforts of formerly enslaved individuals to reunite with their loved ones after the Civil War. Drawing from an extensive archive of letters and advertisements, Giesberg sheds light on the resilience and determination of those who sought to reconnect with their families despite the odds.

The book highlights the lasting impact of slavery's cruelties and the power of love and hope in the face of unimaginable hardship.
