Description: "From 1609 until well after the founding of the Republic, half of all the colonists who came to America did so under some form of involuntary labor. The author draws on original memoirs, newspapers, and pamphlets to re-create the fascinating, almost novelistic life stories of a number of the remarkable people whose enshacklement and destitution paved the way for American freedom. In their own words we meet such man and women as Carlo Forni, perhaps the first labor organizer; James Annesley, whose Memoirs of an Unfortunate Young Nobleman Returned from 13 Years Slavery in America inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped; and the incredible Jenny Voss, a real life Molly Flanders. Bound Over offers a surprising and compelling new interpretation of the Revolution as growing out of this widespread practice of servitude." The dust jacket has some tears in it, but it is included. Someone drew a black line about 1 1/2 inches long on the tail, which I've pointed out in the photos. Otherwise, I see no writing, notes, underlining nor highlighting nor other flaws in the book. Please see photos to assess condition. 5
