Description: "In 1848 William and Ellen Craft 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."--BOOK JACKET.

"This edition of their thrilling story faithfully follows the original 1860 text. The new introduction and annotated supplementary readings, drawn from a variety of contemporary sources, help to place the Crafts' story within the complex cultural currents of transatlantic abolitionism."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [109]-112).
