Book excerpt: In 1848, William and Ellen Craft hatched a daring plan to escape from slavery; Ellen would pose as a white man, with her husband playing the part of his slave. Within eight days of hatching the plan, they were free! Here is the exciting story of their planning and escape from slavery, knowing every step of the way that to be caught would mean death. They finally reach the northern states, only to find that they are still not safe! THIS VERSION IS EDITED FOR CHILDREN. Text is taken from the autobiography of William Craft: “Running 1,000 Miles for Freedom”. The words are his own, though some edits have been made to shorten the story to a length suitable for children and to make the story more easily understood by children. Additionally, some text has been slightly altered to update words, and words which may be considered extremely offensive to many people have been altered slightly.

Book excerpt: This book is not intended as a full history of the life of my wife, nor of myself; but merely as an account of our escape; together with other matter which I hope may be the means of creating in some minds a deeper abhorrence of the sinful and abominable practice of enslaving and brutifying our fellow-creatures.
