Overview: In this rousing 1852 romp through the eerie woods surrounding Hannibal, Missouri, and up and down the Mississippi River, fourteen-year-old Daniel Webster Jackson runs into a counterfeit Underground Railroad when he decides to run away from his foster home. At every turn he musters courage to survive in a land where the law is at odds with the heart and soul of a people, where The Missouri Compromise forces everyone into a disguise or a secret identity.
Daniel, a white teenager, assumes a Black identity and becomes a hero. George appears to be a Black slaver, but he is really a freed Black man and a superb forger of papers for travelers on the Underground Railroad. Colonel Halverston carries an air of mystery about himself and his plantation because he resigned his commission at West Point to take over the plantation, complete with slaves.
