A twig snapped underfoot and the shadowy form of an owl flew past on silent wings. Close by, so close it raised the hair on my scalp, something barked. I whipped around, visions of slave-hunting dogs leaped at us from the brush. “What was that!”“A fox, Miss.”“Oh.” I knew the bark of a fox. I’d heard it before. Just not on a dark night when I was running through the woods with a fugitive slave.Annie Duncan’s pa disappears on his way to the California gold fields and is presumed dead. A widower begins courting Ma. Annie and her brothers find little to like about the man, why he even believed in slavery! When a fugitive slave arrives on the Duncan farm, the family conspires to hide him, not only from the slave-catchers, but also from Ma’s soon-to-be husband.

SUBJECT: "For youth and adults. Man has subdued the animals, mastered the plants, invented the arts, explored the earth, split the atom. This is the story of Man's accomplishments using our senses to harness the rivers, create new lakes, water the deserts, build ships that can outswim the whale, cars that outrun the cheetah, and planes the outfly the falcon."
