In 1848 an English physician, Nathaniel Trennant, accepts an offer to serve as doctor on a ship carrying immigrants to America. When arriving in Baltimore, Trennant stumbles onto its slave market and witnesses the horrors of human bondage. One night in a boardinghouse he discovers under his bed a runaway slave. Disturbed and angered by the selling of human lives, he offers to help the young man escape, a criminal action that will put the fugitive slave and physician into flight from both the law and opportunistic slave hunters.

Traveling by foot, horse, stage, canal boat, and steamer, Nathaniel and Nicodemus explore the backcountry and forge a deep friendship as they encounter a host of memorable characters who reveal the nature of the American experiment, one still in its early stages but already under the stress of social injustices and economic inequities.

Nice Wallet
Beautiful men’s leather wallet by Fossil. Came in a tin gift box. Nice and big, which is what I was looking for. Has a pocket for coins. Planning on giving it to husband for Father’s Day and I know he’s gonna love it.

Fits your COVID vaccine card!
This wallet is very lovely (fine workmanship, smooth and not distressed leather as in the photo). Comes in a quality metal box that has possibly thrilled my husband even more than the wallet itself. Holds everything including weird currencies, parking stubs, even your COVID vaccine document — you do have one, right? Perfect gift.

Well made,
The leather is flawless, all the stitching is well done, the ability to organize my cards in groups worked out well. It's overall size is fine, fits well in a front pocket, flatter than a tri-fold, not bulky. My only wish would be making the width of the inner double sided leather card holder page pockets just 1/8" wider. In my opinion this would then be a 5-star wallet. One spot to hold some of the just wider than credit card size for easy access would be nice. Besides that, I intend to use it until it is worn out. Nice wallet!
