Brave slave boy leads escape to Union lines in Civil War era
A young enslaved boy near Newbern overhears a plan of escape and, aided by a fervent sense of liberty, journeys to Union camps about twenty miles away. He serves as powder-boy, later becomes an officer’s aide, and continues to influence both sides with his public speaking. In later years he returns north, reconnects with former master’s widow, and rises to prominence in public life.
