Description
“â€BOY LOST,†read the advertisement placed in a newspaper by the father of one of
the five free boys kidnapped in Philadelphia in 1825. Richard Bellâ€s heartbreaking and searing
account of their story chronicles not only the agonies and atrocities of slavery, but the fragility of
freedom, and the dauntlessness of resistance.― - Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A
History of the United States“Opening an unknown world from an unsung tragedy that started
in early national Philadelphia and stretched grimly South, Stolen offers a wormâ€s eye view of
the leviathan of American slavery, and of some of its most dastardly perpetrators and its most
remarkable survivors. Richard Bell has researched inventively and mastered a vast body of
scholarship, as we would expect from so distinguished a historian. But he also imbues his tale with
the deep humanity of a great novelist. Both riveting and heartrending, Stolen joins the great
literature of Americaâ€s founding tragedy, earning a place alongside the work of Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Edward P. Jones, and Toni Morrison.― – Jane Kamensky, Jonathan
Trumbull Professor of American History, Harvard University“Stolen is historical storytelling
at its best. Bell makes brilliant detective work come alive with vivid, powerful writing. The saga of
these five boys, kidnapped and smuggled from Philadelphia to Mississippi in the 1820s, captures
both the powerful undertow of slavery in the free black communities of the North and the urgent
dawning of the abolitionist movement. There's been nothing like it since Northup.― —Adam
Rothman, author of Beyond Freedom's Reach: A Kidnapping in the Twilight of Slavery
“Rigorously researched, heartfelt, and dramatically concise, Bell's investigation illuminates the
role slavery played in the systemic inequalities that still confront Black Americans.― —Booklist
“A well-told story… A deep dive into the extraordinary risks faced by free blacks in the
antebellum era.― —Kirkus Reviews“A fascinating story.―—Library Journal Richard Bell
teaches Early American history at the University of Maryland. He has received several teaching
prizes and major research fellowships including the National Endowment for the Humanities Public
Scholar Award. His first book, We Shall Be No More: Suicide and Self-Government in the Newly
United States, was published in 2012.
