Sleeping with the Ancestors focuses on all the key sites preservationist and Civil War reenactor Joseph McGill has visited in his ongoing Slave Dwelling Project and digs deeper into the actual history of each location. His account uses his own experience and conversations with the community to enhance those original stories. This is an enlightening personal account in which one man tells the story of his groundbreaking project to sleep overnight in former slave dwellings that still stand across the country— revealing the fascinating history behind these sites and shedding light on larger issues of race in America.

McGill and coauthor Herb Frazier provide an important unexpected emersion into the history of slavery, and especially the obscured and ignored aspects of that history.
