Rutherford Calhoun is a free African American from Illinois
living in New Orleans. He’s a thief and
con who gets in trouble with bill collectors and a schoolteacher who wants to
marry him. Desperate to escape, he stows
away on a ship that ends up being a slaver.
He gets a lot more than he bargains for, but despite the horror of the
trip, he learns a little bit more about himself. Although this was a hard book to read, I
liked it. People who are not afraid of a
little horror and like historical fiction might want to read this.
