5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent historical overview through one slave's history,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadrach Minkins: From Fugitive Slave to Citizen (Hardcover)
Shadrach who?? This book provides amazing insight into the experiences of an unlikely hero whose story should be taught in grade school. A terrific amount of information condensed into a readable, enjoyable package--I can not imagine how difficult it must have been for the author to gather such little-known information. I only regret that I hadn't known the book or its main character years ago.

By Wichita Shopper (Wichita, Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shadrach Minkins: From Fugitive Slave to Citizen (Hardcover)
It's hard to imagine how much work went into the research of this book. To find the details and documentation is mind consuming. The story puts flesh and blood onto a part of history that was forgotten and lived only in bits and pieces. Truly the work of a dedicated individual.
