A True Story of the Christiana Riot is a historical account written by David R. Forbes in 1898. The book narrates the events that took place in 1851 in Christiana, Pennsylvania, where a group of African American fugitive slaves and their supporters resisted a group of slave catchers who had come to capture them. The resistance led to a violent confrontation, resulting in the death of one of the slave catchers and the trial of 38 African Americans. Forbes provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the riot, the trial, and the aftermath. The book also explores the political and social tensions of the time, particularly the growing abolitionist movement and the efforts to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. Overall, A True Story of the Christiana Riot is a compelling historical narrative that sheds light on a little-known episode in the fight against slavery in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
