Book Description
Because the Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in the border states, Moses, a Maryland slave boy of about 14, ran away. Tricked into being part of a scheme to send freed slaves to Haiti, Moses was among more than 400 slaves who endured hunger and disease before eventually being rescued. Based on a true incident.
