The Creole Mutiny - A Tale of Revolt Aboard a Slave Ship
Seller: Barclay Books, York, WA, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. On the night of November 7, 1841, the Creole, a brig transporting at least 135 slaves from Richmond, Virginia, to the auction block at New Orleans, was about 130 miles northeast of the Bahamas. In the darkness, a band of 19 slaves led by Madison Washington seized the crew and its captain. Over the next several days they forced the Creole to sail into Nassau harbor, where the British authorities offered freedom to the slaves on board, touching off a diplomatic squabble and continuing legal ramifications. In The Creole Mutiny, George and Willene Hendrick have pieced together, from scant information and remote sources, the story of this successful slave revolt and of the mysterious figure of Madison Washington, a fugitive slave who had been recaptured while trying to free his wife. With careful attention to background details, the authors describe what is known of Washington's life; the efforts of fugitive slaves to free other family members; the methods of slave traders and the operators of slave pens; the conditions on slave ships; and the sexual exploitation of female slaves, some mere children. In an Appendix, the authors show how Madison Washington has taken on mythic qualities in the works of major African-American writers, from Frederick Douglass to Theodore Ward. With 24 black-and-white illustrations. Fascinating.compelling history.--Vernon Ford, Booklist 2003, First edition. A near fine copy in a very good d/w. Seller Inventory # 16637468

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. On the night of November 7, 1841, the Creole, a brig transporting at least 135 slaves from Richmond, Virginia, to the auction block at New Orleans, was about 130 miles northeast of the Bahamas. The male slaves were being held in the forward hold; the aft hold housed the 40 or so female slaves. In the early darkness, an apparent disturbance among the males sent the ship's first mate and a guard forward to investigate. A shot was fired by one of the slaves, grazing the first mate's head. Soon a band of 19 slaves, led by one of them known as Madison Washington, had rushed on deck and seized the crew and its captain. Over the next several days they forced the Creole to sail into Nassau harbor. There, over strenuous American protests, the British authorities offered freedom to the slaves on board, touching off a diplomatic squabble and legal ramifications that continued for years afterward. 177 pages.
