This review is from: Running for Freedom: Slave Runaways in North Carolina, 1775-1840 (Studies in African American History and Culture) (Hardcover)

Excellent coverage of the slave era by Mr. Parker. This genealogical guide was resourceful in educating the reader of the plight of the runaway slave. Inclusive of tables, statistics, and charts, it allows one to get an up-close and personal coverage of the runaway slaves in North Carolina. All information contains footnotes to documents resources used. A MUST READ BOOK!!!
