A success, albeit significantly less influential than her first novel, it focuses on a maroon, or escaped slave, that south refuge in the Great Dismal Swamp between Virginia and North Carolina. The swamp, which has shrunk 90% due to human development, was home to an unknown number of escaped slaves in the decades leading up to the Civil War. COLL1856BDFB
