Daniel Rasmussen has unearthed a stunning tale of freedom and repression and told it in gripping fashion.” — Evan Thomas “A deeply researched, vividly written, and highly original account of the largest slave revolt in the nineteenth-century United States. . . . Thanks to Rasmussen, we now have the full story of this dramatic moment in the struggle for freedom in this country.” — Eric Foner “Rasmussen adds fresh research to the story of the 1811 revolt, ushering it into the context of slavery, the history of the South, and the ugly brutality our nation built itself on. . . . Great reading for anyone interested in history.” — The Portland Book Review “Rasmussen has illuminated a remarkable event long obscured by the years.” — The Charleston Post and Courier
