Based on a true story, Passenger on the Pearl recounts the events and aftermath of the largest slave escape attempt in American history. In 1848, thirteen-year-old Emily Edmonson and seventy-six other slaves boarded a schooner called The Pearl, hoping to sail north to freedom. Soon after, the ship was captured, and the Edmonson siblings were again sold into deplorable conditions. Packed with photographs, manifests, posters, and other historical artifacts, this book will hold your students’ attention and makes a great addition to any nonfiction unit on American history.
