http://schema.org/description

  • ""On an autumn day in 1866, Wiley Ambrose and Hepsey Saunders, former slaves who lived as husband and wife, heard a knock at their door. Three men from a plantation in Brunswick County, North Carolina, presented court-ordered apprenticeship papers authorizing the immediate seizure of the couple's daughters, fifteen-year-old Harriet and thirteen year-old Eliza. After a brief stay in jail with other children, the sisters were sent to work as plantation servants and field hands until age twenty-one. Karin L. Zipf's Labor of innocents offers the first comprehensive exploration of such forced apprenticeship in North Carolina"--Jacket, p. [2]."
