On December 21, 1848, a Southern gentleman and his slave boarded a train in Macon, Georgia, bound for Philadelphia. Or so it seemed. They were, in fact, two slaves on a daring, broad-daylight escape. Light-skinned Ellen Craft was dressed as the "gentleman"; her husband William was her "slave." It was 1,000 miles to get to the North, but their journey to freedom would be much farther than that. Author’s note. Black-and-white photos and illustrations.
