“The story of William and Ellen Craft had been told, repeated in fragments, and retold among proslavery people as well as by Abolitionists for at least a decade before the Crafts were in a position to publish their narrative. Apparently no two slaves in their flight for freedom ever thrilled the world so much as did this handsome young couple. It began, as the narrative indicates, when the near-white wife, disguised in man’s clothes as a young planter, and her young black mate left Macon, Georgia, during the Christmas holidays of 1848. When the ruse succeeded, they became heroes, about whom speeches were made and poems written….Here was romance with dimensions which Shakespeare might not have missed, and which President James K. Polk did not, altogether. …Polk declared after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law that he would employ military force for their capture.” – Arna Wendell Bontemps, “Great Slave Narratives,” 1969
“We would look in vain through the most trying times of our revolutionary history…for an incident of courage and noble daring to equal that of the escape of William and Ellen Craft; the future historians and poets would tell this story as one of the most thrilling in the nation’s annals.” -The Liberator

From the Back Cover
This compelling narrative offers a firsthand account of a couple's remarkable flight from slavery in the antebellum South. William and Ellen Craft devised a daring plan in which the light-skinned wife disguised herself as a man and the husband posed as her servant. This brief memoir recounts their journey northward in 1848, when they made their way to Philadelphia and later settled in Boston, where they were active in abolitionist circles.
Originally published in 1860, the Crafts' account of their escape was an immediate success. Their story offers fascinating insights into issues of race, gender, and class in nineteenth-century America.
About the Author
In 1848 William and Ellen Craft made one of the most daring and remarkable escapes in the history of slavery in America. With fair-skinned Ellen in the guise of a white male planter and William posing as her servant, the Crafts traveled by rail and ship--in plain sight and relative luxury--from bondage in Macon, Georgia, to freedom first in Philadelphia, then Boston, and ultimately England. William Craft (1821-1900) and Ellen Craft (1826-1891) returned to the United States after the Civil War. For the rest of their lives, often at great personal risk, they worked to improve conditions for African Americans in the South.

True Story of an Unique Escape
By kindlefan
Great story of two slaves who escaped to freedom in a unique way. He also includes other quotes of supporting slavery by some well-known people, examples of the laws and some harrowing incidents that happened to people. A horrifying look at slavery and the hope of freedom and rights. Very compelling.
