"During the American Revolution, thousands of slaves fled their masters to find freedom with the British. Epic Journeys of Freedom is the story of these runaways and the lives they made on four continents. Having emancipated themselves, with the rhetoric about the inalienable rights of free men ringing in their ears, these men and women struggled tenaciously to make liberty a reality in their own lives."--BOOK JACKET.
