Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom (Newly Edited and Formatted)
No Customer Reviews
Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom is the harrowing and inspiring true story of William and Ellen Craft, an enslaved African American couple who engineered one of the most daring escapes from bondage in U.S. history. First published in 1860, this autobiographical account remains a powerful testament to the human spirit, courage, and the unbreakable quest for freedom. Disguised as a white male planter and his enslaved valet, Ellen and William traveled over a thousand miles from Georgia to Philadelphia, evading slave catchers and suspicion every step of the way. Their extraordinary journey is not just a thrilling escape narrative--it's a profound reflection on the cruelty of slavery and the ingenuity and determination it took to survive and overcome it. With its vivid storytelling and emotional depth, this classic work of abolitionist literature continues to resonate in today's conversations about race, justice, and historical memory. This edition is ideal for readers of American history, social justice, memoirs, and civil rights narratives.
