Eneas Africanus

In post‑war Georgia, a desperate Major Tommey publishes a heartfelt newspaper appeal, seeking the return of his family’s ancient Bride’s Cup—a silver vessel bearing verses that have blessed every Tommey wedding since 1670. The cup vanished when Eneas, the family's longtime enslaved driver, disappeared after his wagon veered off the road near Atlanta, taking the priceless heirloom with him.

Through a series of letters and small‑town notices, the story captures the quiet determination of a daughter awaiting her own marriage, the lingering loyalty of a man who loved his mare, and the tangled rumors that swirl around a missing wagon and its concealed cargo. As ordinary townsfolk, soldiers, and strangers join the search, listeners are invited into a vivid portrait of Southern life that balances personal loss with a broader yearning to preserve fragile heritage.
