Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom

William & Ellen Craft 152 pages Young Adult

Danny Says

In 1848 the Crafts made one of the most daring and remarkable escapes in the history of slavery in America. With fair-skinned Ellen in the guise of a white male planter and William posing as her servant, the Crafts traveled by rail and ship―in plain sight and relative luxury―from bondage in Macon, Georgia, to freedom first in Philadelphia, then Boston, and ultimately England. Astounding story!
