Journal Entry 1 by Bbonnn from Hayward, California USA on Monday, February 23, 2004
Using only newspaper accounts and a paucity of official records, Weisenburger paints a vivid picture of slavery, freedom, law and murder on the Kentucky border. If nothing else, you'll be reminded just how nasty slavery was, when you read about a slave's murder being a "property crime."
