Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Using only scraps of historical evidence, Nobles thoroughly succeeds in tracing the life of an individual African American-Betsey Stockton-and simultaneously illuminating the end of slavery in the North. Nobles is a gifted writer, an excellent historian, and an imaginative researcher, and his well-timed book is a pleasure to read." * Shane White, author of Prince of Darkness: The Untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Wall Street's First Black Millionaire *
