Whew! That's all I can say. I wish this question weren't so generational, yet I understand how this is different given the peril. I'm going to sit with this question for a while. Thank you for sharing Ellen and her husband's story. Thank you for being a historian.
This is good. Thank you for giving Ellen voice and calling her name. I found you in Ava D.’s comments. I wrote a little something too about enslaved people who worked the soil where I grew up. I just learned about it while researching my latest book. Enjoy.
Hey, everyone, I also recommend "Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom" by Ilyon Woo, which is about Ellen Craft and her husband's escape!
