The fascinating and moving memoirs of American slaves, William and Ellen Craft. First published in 1860, this volume gives insight into the life and plight of slaves in the 18th century.
Published just before the Civil War, these memoirs are one of the most influential slave narratives. Disguised as a servant and a white male painter, William and Ellen Craft escaped slavery in Georgia, USA, in 1848. They travelled north by rail and river before reaching Philadelphia on Christmas Day. Their exploit was widely covered in the press and became well known, putting their lives in danger.
Read & Co. History has proudly republished this classic memoir, now featuring an introductory chapter by Frederick Douglas, ‘My Escape From Slavery’. Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom is not to be missed by those with an interest in American history.
