Searching for Sarah Rector: The Richest Black Girl in America
by Tonya Bolden
The title and cover and completely beguiling - however, the information inside does not hold up as one would hope.
This is the story of Sarah Rector, who, through the vagaries of land endowment and oil discoveries, was actually the richest black girl in America for a period of time. Sadly, there is very little primary source material to provide much additional information. Therefore it ends up being much more of a story about governmental practices at the time.
Better for browsing than reading cover-to-cover.
