Four-Fifty Miles To Freedom is a historical novel written by Maurice Andrew Brackenreed Johnston and published in 1919. The book tells the story of a young African American man named Tom, who escapes slavery in the southern United States and embarks on a perilous journey to freedom in Canada. Tom’s journey takes him on a 450-mile journey through the wilderness, facing numerous obstacles and dangers along the way. He must navigate treacherous rivers, evade slave catchers and their dogs, and rely on the kindness of strangers to survive. Throughout the book, Johnston explores the themes of freedom, justice, and the human spirit. He portrays the horrors of slavery and the bravery of those who fought against it, as well as the strength and resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Four-Fifty Miles To Freedom is a gripping and inspiring tale that offers a powerful insight into the history of slavery and the fight for freedom in North America. It is a must-read for anyone interested in African American history, the Underground Railroad, or the struggle for civil rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
