This is the true story of the community that stood up to slavery-and changed a nation forever. On a crisp autumn day in Ohio 1858, two Kentucky slave hunters were closing in on a runaway slave named John Price. Federal law said they had the right to bring the man back across state lines. But to the people of Oberlin Ohio, the law was wrong-and they were willing to prove it with their sweat and blood. Fascinating read--I very much loved it.
