- James_Strange_French abstract "James Strange French (1807-1886) was a lawyer, novelist, and later hotel keeper. He was educated at William and Mary and the University of Virginia, then read law with his uncle Robert Strange in Fayetteville, North Carolina. In 1831, French represented Nat Turner, as well as a number of other slaves accused of participating in Nat Turner's slave rebellion. French was joined in defending slaves by Meriwether Brodnax, William Henry Brodnax, Thomas Ruffin Gray, who published The Confessions of Nat Turner and is commonly referred to as Nat Turner's lawyer, and William C. Parker. In 1835 French helped secure the commutation of a sentence of a slave, Boson, who had been sentenced to death following the rebellion, then escaped from the Sussex County jail. French was the author of at least two novels. The first, Sketches and Eccentricities of Col. David Crockett of West Tennessee, appeared in 1833. The second, Elkswatawa, was set in the early nineteenth century. It was a romance set around Tecumseh's War. Edgar Allan Poe published a critical review of it in Southern Literary Messenger in 1836. Though they had studied together at the University of Virginia, Poe was quite critical of the plot and prose. French married Laura J. George on June 6, 1850 in "Willow Grove", Tazewell County, Virginia. He died on February 7, 1886 in Gordonsville, Virginia.".
