Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom recounts one of the most daring and ingenious escapes from slavery in American history.

Published in 1860, their account offers a firsthand perspective on the horrors of slavery and the courage required to resist it. This meticulously prepared edition of their historic work offers invaluable insight into the lives of fugitive slaves and the strategies employed within the abolitionist movement.

A vital document in African American history, Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom stands as a testament to the human spirit's unwavering pursuit of liberty and self-determination.
