520 2  "The story of six children who were stolen from their 
       homes in Africa and sold into slavery across the Atlantic 
       in 1839. They were transported by ship from West Africa to
       Cuba to the United States, and after protracted legal 
       struggles they returned to Africa to restart their lives"-

520 2  "The lives of six African children, ages nine to sixteen, 
       were forever altered by the revolt aboard the Cuban 
       schooner La Amistad in 1839. Like their adult companions, 
       all were captured in Africa and illegally sold as slaves. 
       In this fascinating revisionist history, Benjamin N. 
       Lawrance reconstructs six entwined stories and brings them
       to the forefront of the Amistad conflict. Through 
       eyewitness testimonies, court records, and the children's 
       own letters, Lawrance recounts how their lives were 
       inextricably interwoven by the historic drama, and casts 
       new light on illegal nineteenth-century transatlantic 
       slave smuggling"--|cProvided by publisher.
