On December 21, 1848, Ellen Craft and her husband, William, slipped out into the cold, dark night and took their first steps towards freedom. They were runaway slaves. Posing as a white man traveling with a slave, Ellen courageously boarded a train bound for Philadelphia. Could they actually make it a thousand miles without being discovered? As each tension-filled day passed and freedom got closer, Ellen and William risked everything - even death - to be free. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I think this is a wonderful book to use when studying US history. There is a brief description at the end of the book about what happens after they arrive in PA as well as a timeline. This gives students a very personal look into the stress and injustice of slavery that sometimes is overlooked when the subject is discussed in totality. There are many options for further explorations in social studies such as the Underground Railroad, Abolitionists, slaves being separated from their families, etc. ( )
