💎 Descriptions 💎

A fascinating and moving account of a courageous and resourceful woman. Beautifully written and utilizing previously untapped sources it sheds new light both on the father of our country and on the intersections of slavery and freedom in the flawed republic he helped to found. -- Eric Foner, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Fiery Trial and Gateway to Freedom'Totally engrossing and absolutely necessary for understanding the birth of the American Republic,Never Caughtis richly human history from the vantage point of the enslaved fifth of the early American population.

Bordewich, author of The First Congress'Dunbar brings to life the forgotten story of a woman who fled enslavement from Americas First Family. Her mostly Northern story is a powerful reminder that the tentacles of slavery could reach from the South, all the way to the state of New Hampshire. The surprising part of this true history is not that she achieved her freedom, but the lengths to which George and Martha Washington would go to try to recapture a young woman who insulted them by rejecting bondage.' -- Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina, Dean of Commonwealth Honors College and author of Mr & Ms. PrinceIn this riveting and thoroughly researched account of the life of Ona Judge Staines, historian Erica Armstrong Dunbar carefully and compellingly constructs enslaved life inside The President's House and in the larger urban and rural communities of the time.
