William and Ellen Craft were slaves from Macon who gained celebrity
after a daring public escape in December 1848. The light-skinned
Ellen Craft posed as a white woman traveling with her valet. The
bold ruse worked and the couple were able to elude slave hunters
and eventually cross the Mason-Dixon line. After many trials and
tribulations, including pretending to be a married interracial
couple, they eventually settled outside Savannah, Georgia where
they were able to purchase land. Running a Thousand Miles for
Freedom is a fast-paced, suspenseful account of their incredible
journey.
