Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

The untold story of the experiences of slaves and free blacks who lived and worked on and near the Mississippi River during the 19th century, this book sheds new light on the ways African Americans resisted slavery and developed a vibrant culture and economy. The creative efforts of black steamboat workers to link riverside communities in the North and South facilitated family connections, slave escapes, and the transfer of stolen goods.
