The First Black Tycoon chronicles the life of Tyronius, a 19 year old Georgia slave, from 1858 to 1868, who makes an unplanned but necessary escape to save his life. Due to the unstable conditions in the South, including the advent of civil war, he is forced to hide out in plain sight in a neighboring state.
This heartwarming and sometimes humorous story, while acknowledging the realities of slavery, emphasizes the value of kindness, ingenuity and family loyalty which ultimately leads Tyronius to success, freedom and fortune. This novel, while entirely fictional, does include a few historically accurate landmarks and characters in situations which could have actually occurred.

My Thoughts:I truly enjoyed this story. It begins just prior to the American Civil War and the author, Tom Marshall, strikes a fine balance between historical events and cultural mores for that time in history with adventure and humor in the life of the bright and witty main character, Tyronius Coon. There is something engaging in the story's simplicity and the author's tongue-in-cheek references.
Some of my favorite quotes:
"Mr. Vanderbilt was an extremely intelligent Southern gentleman and one of the kindest slave owners in the state of Georgia. He personally taught all of his house servants to read and write and he named us after his heroes from Greek and Roman literature. My name in particular, Tyronius, was some famous Roman senator who warned Caesar that something bad was about to happen."
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work." ~ Thomas Edison
"The sign also warned that no habitual drunkards, brawlers, pick-pockets, sneaky drink thieves, moochers, or shit bums need enter."
"Among our people, she is not only a princess but a warrior and before you say anything to her that you think might be sassy or offensive, be aware she could easily kill you with skills her father taught her years ago as a young girl when he was still alive."
