    It is thought that Turner and Cherry met and were married at Samuel Turner’s plantation in the early 1820s. The couple had children; historians vary in believing that there were one, two, or three children (a daughter and possibly one or two sons, including one named Riddick).

    TIL Nat had a son named Riddick.

    The book was popular in Nazi Germany; within two days of its publication there in 1937, it had sold 12 thousand copies; by 1941 it had sold 276 thousand copies. William L. Shirer noted in 1939 that it was one of the most popular novels in Germany; the novel for the most part received positive reviews. The novel continued to have high sales until 1942, when books by American authors were banned.

    Yeah, that checks out.
