About this book

I've Got a Home in Gloryland: A Lost Tale of the Underground Railroad by Frost, Karolyn Smardz. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780887622502.

Winner of the Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction, 2007 It was the day before Independence Day, 1831. As his bride, Lucie, was about to be "sold down the river" to the slave markets of New Orleans, young Thornton Blackburn planned a daring – and successful – daylight escape from Louisville. But they were discovered by slave catchers in Michigan and slated to return to Kentucky in chains, until the black community rallied to their cause. The Blackburn Riot of 1833 was the first racial uprising in Detroit history.
