Synopsis:
"Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom" is a written account by Ellen Craft and William Craft first published in 1860. Their book reached wide audiences in Great Britain and the United States and it represents one of the most compelling of the many slave narratives published before the American Civil War. Ellen (1826–1891) and William Craft (1824 - 1900) were slaves from Macon, Georgia in the United States who escaped to the North in December 1848 by traveling openly by train and steamboat, arriving in Philadelphia on Christmas Day.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom: The Escape of William and Ellen Craft From Slavery unravels the gripping narratives of hardship and triumph as two individuals navigate their perilous journey from bondage to liberty. The anthology captures the essence of the antebellum South through a tapestry of genres, blending biographical narrative and historical intrigue with the immediacy and poignancy of lived experience. The collection's varied styles serve as a testament to the innovative means by which individuals in captivity expressed resistance, with each piece offering a unique window into the indomitable spirit of those yearning for freedom. Among these are heart-stopping first-hand accounts and vivid portrayals of the societal dynamics that defined and oppressed. Contributing authors William and Ellen Craft provide an authentic and urgent voice within the narrative, drawing on their own harrowing experiences and escape from slavery. Their contributions situate the anthology within the broader spectrum of 19th-century abolitionist literature, a movement characterized by its fervent challenge to the institution of slavery. The Craft's stories are not merely personal testimonies but form part of a larger tapestry of resistance and survival, shedding light on the pervasive impact of slavery and the resilience of the human spirit in facing such deep adversity. This collection is an essential read for those seeking to explore the confluence of personal narrative and historical context. Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom provides a compelling medley of perspectives that enrich the reader's understanding of individual courage and agency against systemic oppression. By engaging with this anthology, readers gain access to profound personal insights and are invited into a dialogue that transcends time, fostering a deeper comprehension of the complexities of freedom and human dignity.
