A history of the Clotilda, the last slave ship to land on US soil, told through the stories of its survivors â the last documented survivors of any slave ship â whose lives diverged and intersected in profound ways.
What The Reviewers Say
A remarkably wide-ranging book taking in everything from science to soft drinks to show how slavery’s insidious hand wormed its way into the very fabric of American life..
An extraordinary story.
Acknowledging her debt to her predecessors, and sometimes correcting earlier misconceptions, Ms. Durkin adds her own meticulous research and relates the story in ample and affecting detail.
The Survivors of the Clotilda, a comprehensive account of one of the most important parts of American history, is a triumph..
