Stealing Freedom Along the Mason-Dixon Line
Thomas McCreary, the Notorious Slave Catcher from Maryland
About the Author
Reviews
"There is no other Underground Railroad book quite like this excellent study from Milt Diggins. Stealing Freedom offers the most sophisticated portrait yet crafted about a notorious slave catcher and about the tragic realities of antebellum kidnapping along the Mason-Dixon Line."—Matthew Pinsker, Director, House Divided Project at Dickinson College
"Milt Diggins presents the Mason-Dixon Line as a perpetually shifting boundary between slavery and freedom, a border region in which free people of color as well as fugitive slaves lived in constant danger, and kidnappers operated with the government's blessing."—Carol Wilson, Washington College
"A thorough and thoughtful study those researching the Underground Railroad or the growing conflict between North and South over slavery should have on their bookshelves. We need more books like this."—Christopher Densmore, Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College
