Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Fugitives of the Pearl' provides a compelling historical narrative regarding one of the most significant escape attempts in the history of the American Underground Railroad. The work centers on the 1848 voyage of the schooner 'The Pearl,' which departed from Washington, D.C., with seventy-seven enslaved people seeking passage to freedom. Author John H. Paynter, a descendant of those who participated in the flight, brings a deeply personal perspective to this harrowing journey and its aftermath. The book details the planning of the escape, the capture of the vessel in the Chesapeake Bay, and the subsequent impact the event had on the abolitionist movement and the legal landscape of the United States. By focusing on the lives and struggles of the fugitives-including the well-known Edmonson sisters-the work highlights the human cost of slavery and the relentless pursuit of liberty. This account is an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of the antebellum era and the specific history of the quest for freedom within the nation's capital. Through Paynter's documentation, the legacy of 'The Pearl' remains a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the fight for civil rights.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
