A propos de ce titre

Synopsis :

The story of how an illiterate black man from Virginia found himself to be the catalyst of a dramatic episode of rebellion and legal wrangling before the Civil War. As the story unfolds, the reader sees what life was like for a slave in Norfolk, Virginia, and for a free black man in Montreal, where a community was established by Minkins and other refugee blacks from the United States. Minkins life is traced from Virginia to Boston to Montreal, through his arrest and rescue and the issues of urban slavery and Boston abolitionism are addressed.

We work from home, and our business is 95% internet-based, but our new location allows us to have retail trade by chance or appointment. Please Call First to make sure we'll be here, and that we carry the kinds of books you're interested in. We have lots of 'good reads', but much of our inventory is a bit scholarly or obscure. We don't have mass market paperbacks, or popular authors like James Patterson or Danielle Steele, unless the book would be signed.
