"...When he was a boy in Henning, Tennessee, Alex Haley's grandmother used to tell him stories about their family -- stories that went back to her grandparents, and their grandparents, down through the generations all the way to a man she called 'the African.' She said he had lived across the ocean near what he called the 'Kamby Bolongo' and had been out in the forest one day chopping wood to make a drum when he was set upon by four men, beaten, chained and dragged aboard a slave ship bound for colonial America..."
