Synopsis
Nance was a girl of color in Illinois, just about twelve years old when Abraham Lincoln arrived in the state. An indentured servant, she was held against her will in servitude for life. When law-enforcement officers seized her and beat her nearly to death, she took the epochal step of filing suit to establish her freedom. In his account of Nance's pivotal but long-forgotten story, Kevin Orlin Johnson gives us the very best of narrative history, a tapestry woven of many colors % slavery, compassion, prejudice, comedy, corruption, vindication % and the very first appearance of Abraham Lincoln as a lawyer before the Supreme Court of Illinois, an episode strangely ignored by Lincoln Studies for a century and a half. Meticulously, exquisitely researched, vividly and cleverly written, Nance is a fascinating work of nonfiction that stands as a powerful novel, too, a counterweight to Gone With the Wind at once compelling and delightful. With a deep love and intimate understanding of the land he grew up in, the Southern Illinois native resurrects a cast of actual characters of every type, all forgotten or unfairly neglected, and displays their lives, compassionately and even affectionately, in cinematic detail across the whole scope and splendor of the American prairie % the world's richest farmland, then swept by grass fires, vigilantes, land pirates, and slave traders bent on kidnapping any lonely traveller, of any race, to be sold down the River on an industrial scale. Their true stories shatter stereotypes and expectations on every page. Johnson links the documented events of their lives with carefully researched accounts of what must have happened to connect those people through the baffling tangle of laws that legalized slavery in Lincoln's Illinois. The result is an entertaining read and an enlightening history lesson, too. Nance is a true story that stands this heroic girl in her rightful place alongside other great champions of racial justice such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Rosa Parks and calls for a re-assessment of the world of Abraham Lincoln.

    This was a very hard to find (at a reasonable price) item, so it made me happy to find on ebay with a seller who made the purchase effortless! Shipped the same day and arrived in packaging that proved the seller cared a lot about ensuring it was safe. There was no variation from the description - it was exactly what I wanted!

    Books arrive as described and in a timely fashion. Would have wanted slightly better packaging given it was three books together being transported internationally (bubble wrap, a slightly bigger box, etc) but transaction was smooth.
