Memories of Africa, pre-civil war New England, political turmoil in
Russia, the end of slavery in Jamaica, and Caribbean pirates; an
intrepid black woman experiences many turning points in world
history. Nancy Prince paints a blunt picture of the struggle of
free blacks to make a living in the North. When Boston failed to
provide her with a livable wage, she and her husband found
employment on a boat bound for Russia. A black household servant
was a rare commodity in the land of the czars, and Prince was well
compensated in St. Petersburg.
