Very informative and and interesting true story about two slaves Ellen and William Craft escaping slavery. The book dragged in places due to too much information at once about the times and wider event but when focused directly on the Craft was more intriguing. I did not know before this book that the laws in non slavery states, especially Massachusetts, could hand freed slaves to the slave owners nor that some police offucers in protest would wage petty charges on the known slave owners to go away.
