Review:

[Collison] has painted for us a fascinating portrait of African American life in slavery and freedom at the time of the Fugitive Slave Law...This book will be useful not only to the average reader interested in fugitive slave accounts but also to researchers seeking new avenues of information for African American and African Canadian history. It is entertaining and well written, demonstrating how thorough research, coupled with an author's deep personal interest in the subject, can combine to make a scholarly history book that is also a good read.--Karolyn Smardz Frost "Canadian Historical Review "
