Frontiers of Freedom: Cincinnati's Black Community 1802-1868

This is a wonderful, unique addition to existing histories of African Americans in the north. I had no idea (as most people, I think) that the Black community in Cincinnati had such a great impact on mid-nineteenth century American history. Slavery in the north, the work of Black Abolitionists, the importance of the Ohio River, the work of Black churches and the Prince Hall Masons to Black freedom in the 19th century, Fugitive Slave Law cases, and much more are covered. Professor Taylor has written an enlightening, exciting account of this epoch in American history. Thank you so very much Nikki M.Taylor!
