520 2 "The true story of two African-American brothers who were
kidnapped and displayed as circus freaks, and whose mother
endured a 28-year struggle to get them back. The year was
1899 and the place a sweltering tobacco farm in the Jim
Crow South town of Truevine, Virginia. George and Willie
Muse were two little boys born to a sharecropper family.
One day a white man offered them a piece of candy, setting
off events that would take them around the world and
change their lives forever. Captured into the circus, the
Muse brothers performed for royalty at Buckingham Palace
and headlined over a dozen sold-out shows at New York's
Madison Square Garden. They were global superstars in a
pre-broadcast era. But the very root of their success was
in the color of their skin and in the outrageous
caricatures they were forced to assume: supposed cannibals,
sheep-headed freaks, even 'Ambassadors from Mars.' Back
home, their mother never accepted that they were 'gone'
and spent 28 years trying to get them back. Through
hundreds of interviews and decades of research, Beth Macy
expertly explores a central and difficult question: Where
were the brothers better off? On the world stage as stars
or in poverty at home? Truevine is a compelling narrative
rich in historical detail and rife with implications to
race relations today"--Publisher description.
