Ellen and William Craft, the two fugitive slaves who escaped from slavery in the South of Georgia. In the first part of the story, there's are mini biographies of Ellen and William. Their masters, unlike any other masters were very kind. Ellen, who is Black but light-skinned, could pass for a White. Ellen, herself disguised as a white man of Mr. Johnson, her disguise name by the idea of her husband, William. Their escape was long, difficult but also very intense. I would recommend anyone who loves history! - Happy Reading!
