Life for Blacks in Southern Indiana in the 1820s could be brutal, but Mary Bateman Clark’s victorious lawsuit helped advance change. This book is a must-listen which looks beyond typical stories about slavery. The book includes genealogical information about numerous African American and White pioneer families in Knox County, Indiana, before 1820.

Clark's story highlights Indiana's long and dark history of the enslavement of African-Americans. This historical fiction though gives a intriguing look, even if fictionalized, behind the names in court records and histories. The author brings to life the characters, their personal histories, struggles, and triumphs. This is an excellent book, even though chapter 8 seems uncharacteristically and painfully detailed.

There is no such thing as Northern innocence.
