Summary

In this "must listen" episode, a man of modest means positioned himself into a position of wealth. He became a sawmill tycoon and a plantation owner in 1850's Edgefield, but his thirst for power and money coupled with his inconsideration for everyone but himself proved deadly. A true narcissist, Martin Posey ran his affairs like a mob boss and forced his charges to do his bidding.
