       the runaway experience : a brief history of slavery in 
       America /|rBrenda E. Stevenson. 
520    A compilation of 12 first-person accounts of the runaway 
       slave phenomenon spanning eight decades. Told in the 
       voices of the runaway slaves themselves, these narratives 
       reveal the extraordinary and often innovative ways that 
       these men and women sought freedom and demanded 
       citizenship. Also included is an essay by UCLA history 
       professor Brenda Stevenson that contextualizes these 
       narratives, as well as a look into the daily life of a 
       slave. Divided into four categories--running away for 
       family, running inspired by religion, running by any means
       necessary, and running to be free-these stories are a 
       testament to the indelible spirit of these remarkable 
       survivors.
