Résumé

Carrie Kinsey, a young Black widow and mother in Jim Crow Georgia, whose husband-a Buffalo Soldier quartermaster in the 10th Cavalry-dies in the Spanish-Cuban-American War and is quietly erased from honor by a "blue discharge." Years later, back on her family's farm in Bainbridge, Carrie fights a new terror as vagrancy laws and peonage schemes allow hooded men and local officials to abduct her teenage brother James and then her son Samuel into brutal forced labor on the infamous Kinderlou plantation, part of a vast system of "slavery by another name." With no help from sheriffs, judges, or the white city council, Carrie claws her way to the only avenue left: a desperate, barely literate letter to President Theodore Roosevelt that lays bare the theft of Black children into chains forty years after Emancipation.
The novel imagines both the silent federal routing of her plea-filed away as "Reference Number 12007"-and the hidden ways that letter still shakes the corridors of power, as a compromised President quietly purchases Samuel's freedom and later unseals her husband's record, even while leaving the wider system intact. Spanning kitchen tables, battlefields, plantations, and archives, the story centers a Black mother's voice as she refuses to let her family become just another forgotten number in America's ledger. 
As a native Texan currently based in Houston, I find that my official mailing address is categorized as "overseas." I served over twenty years in the United States Army, which encompassed both active duty and roles within the Texas National Guard and Army Reserve. My family includes two children-a son and a daughter-who have both gone through college experiences. As an avid traveler, I take great pleasure in immersing myself in diverse cultures.
Throughout my life, I've lived in multiple countries such as the Philippines, South Korea, Germany, Kuwait, Colombia, and most recently the Dominican Republic. My passion for exploring new destinations and seeking knowledge has always propelled me forward. My military background has given me a unique perspective on the world, and I am grateful for the opportunities it has afforded me. Even though I was not involved in the process, as a parent, I am proud of my children's achievements in overcoming the difficulties of college and life.
Traveling has been a significant part of my life, and I continue to seek out new experiences and connections with people from all walks of life. My time spent living in various countries has enriched my understanding of different cultures and broadened my worldview. I am on sabbatical leave from DeVry College. My objective in attending college is to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities of American society, the internal and external battles for its soul, and the inclination toward self-destruction that defines it.
I have just completed my first novel The Last Alamo is a memoir that tells the poignant yet courageous story of an American from Houston, Texas, who successfully joined the Army and fulfilled a long-inspired familial legacy to serve his country. The Last Alamo delves into Tyler's career in the U. S. military, detailing the challenges he faced, including discrimination among the people he fought to honor and protect, and his reconciliation with his "dark passenger, " who had been with him since a childhood trauma.
Tyler is vulnerable in his collection of essays, as he expresses his fears in a moment of crisis that ultimately saved him and his squad. Austin Macauley Publishers is the publisher of the book. I
