A Slave No More

In "A Slave No More," historian David W. Blight uncovers the extraordinary narratives of Wallace Turnage and John Washington, two formerly enslaved men who escaped to freedom during the chaos of the Civil War. Drawing from a wealth of genealogical materials, Blight reconstructs their childhoods on plantations and their journeys to reunite their families in the North. These gripping first-person accounts offer a rare glimpse into the lives of those who fought against the bonds of slavery and sought a new life. The audiobook captures their remarkable stories and places them within the broader context of American history.
