Espionage and Enslavement in the Revolution: The True Story of Robert Townsend and Elizabeth

By Tiffany Yecke Brooks and Claire Bellerjeau

Book Overview

In 1785, an African American woman, Elizabeth, was sold to her fifth enslaver. She had no idea that Robert Townsend, a son of her first enslaver, would locate her and safeguard her child nor that Robert, one of America's first spies, had joined an anti-slavery movement. The paperback has a new chapter on recent discoveries about her life.
