Runaway Jack

(4) K-3 Told by a grandfather to his grandson about his ancestor, Jack's story of escape from slavery on a plantation near Vicksburg is a readable composite of many slave narratives. Illustrations, particularly the close-ups, capture the drama of the danger, tragedy, and hope of a journey on the Underground Railroad.
