Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom
by
by

Carefully researched and laden with the complex history of slavery in the US, the civil war, the underground railroad. Wonderful audacity of Ellen and William Craft. The thread of the story follows the harrowing escape of this couple, but 12 chapters, organized by title from Overture to Coda, and 10 locations fill out an extensive history of the 19th century in the US.
Chapters: Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Charleston, Overland, Pennsylvania, New England, The US, Canada, Overseas. From a small town in the south, to the overall state of Georgia, and its larger capital, another city in N. Carolina, the scope of locale keeps growing.
The cover and reviews call it a love story, but I felt the historical rigor was the predominant force, not the drama or suspense of facing the dangers this couple did. It provides an impartial examination of morals and thorough information about the laws, figures involved in antebellum America.
