John Bailey: THE LOST GERMAN SLAVE GIRL

In researching the question of whether slaves were without rights or legal protections in the antebellum South, Australian John Bailey came upon the story of Sally Miller, "undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary cases in slave litigation."

This modern classic brings to life the struggles of a slave amid the tangle of laws that bound human beings and their owners.

David Van Drehle calls the work " a rare achievement - a book that is both important and spellbinding. Important because Bailey takes us another step closer to the mad and evil heart of slavery, which twisted every household, every courtroom and every community it got hold of. Spellbinding because Bailey re-creates a young nation, a bawdy city, and a stirring struggle."
