Witness Tree 1910 is a historical novel, written about the post-Civil War era. It is the sequel to Ledbetter's first novel, The Branch and the Vine. Both novels follow the lives of the same characters through the Reconstruction Era that follow the Civil War. Witness Tree 1910 reveals numerous historical details and little known facts about the early settlements of the South Arkansas region, from Hot Springs to Pine Bluff.
