On February 15, 1851, Shadrach Minkins was serving breakfast at a coffeehouse in Boston when history caught up with him. He became the first runaway to be arrested in New England under the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law. In a remarkable record of historical sleuthing, the author has recovered the true story of Shadrach Minkins' life and times. A rare and engrossing picture of the life of an ordinary black man in 19th-century North America. 17 photos.
