Running North: Virgil's Journey of Escape, Reunion and Freedom

John Kassel

Running North - Born into bondage at Oatlands Plantation in Virginia, Virgil inherits his father Josiah’s skill at the forge and his mother Ruth’s quiet resilience. When mounting debts tear the family apart—Josiah and Virgil are sold south, Ruth and Clara left behind. By 1863, as war engulfs Virginia, Virgil seizes his chance to flee Prospect Hill, guided by maps in his mind, scraps of folklore, and the enduring promise of reunion with his family.
