Celia, A Slave is a book published by Melton A. McLaurin based on the true story of a woman named Celia. Celia lived in Audland County, Missouri, bordered with Callaway and was acquired by Robert Newsum in 1850 (McLaughin, 11). By this year she was about 14 years old, but apart from that she did not know much about herself until she got to the Newham plantation. The historian does not know whether she was born in Audand County, whether it is a farmer's property, or how many monks she had (McLaurin, 11). While working at Newsum Farm, Celia cooked for the Newsum family including Robert Newsom, his son Harry and his daughter, Virginia and Mary (McLaurin, 11). In addition to her housekeeping, Robert Newsum also treated her as a beggar. New Ham raped Seria and smote it, which ultimately led to his murder.
