Elder D.R. Allen
Elder Ebenezer’s Vision
Through storytelling the Elder retraces the route taken by General Sherman’s March to the Sea.  He  is a preacher/contractor, hired by his boyhood friend Oliver Howard of the newly formed  Freedman’s Bureau with the mission of reading the Emancipation Proclamation and establishing  schools at certain plantations from Georgia to Alabama, Tennessee to Louisiana, arriving in  Galveston, Texas on the 19th of June 1865.  His traveling companions are his horse, dog, and  raccoon.  The locations are factual.
