Meticulously researched, the author's work is informed by scholars in early American slave laws and northern black codes, by experts in post-colonial folkways, and by descendants who live to this day in the fugitive settlement their forbears established. While The Indigo Scarf relates the covert workings of sympathetic Quakers, the ruthlessness of a slave catcher, and the irony of a Revolutionary War veteran forced to face his daughter's love for the slave Jedediah James, it treats the deeper theme of the spirit-breaking impact slavery has had across generations since abolition."--Amazon.
