Originally published in 1856; The Kidnapped and the Ransomed is the personal recollection of Peter Still; a black slave. He was stolen as a child from his home in New Jersey; yoked to servitude for more than forty years in Kentucky and Alabama; and finally freed with the help of a pair of Jewish brothers. It is the only nineteenth-century slave narrative to show the participation of the Jews in the antislavery movement before the Civil War.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Sensitive HistoryBy K. G. WatsonI always wondered what the mounds I saw growing up in the south would have looked like in the days of their builders; and how they would have been used. Dr. Miller's thoughtfully composed work brings these structures to life in a far more interesting context than the stereotypes of "temple" or "burial mound" I had been given since childhood. This study is history; anthropology; archaeology and heart integrated as they should be.
