SUMMARY:Flee North: A Book Talk with Scott Shane
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a compelling evening with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Scott Shane as he presents his acclaimed book Flee North: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery’s Borderland. This riveting work uncovers the lost story of Thomas Smallwood, a self-liberated man who helped hundreds escape slavery from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Through historical research, vivid storytelling, and satirical newspaper columns written by Smallwood himself, Flee North brings to light the daring acts of resistance that defined a generation—and the courage of those who risked everything for freedom.\nThe talk will take place on Thursday, October 10 at 6:00 PM at Columbia Crossing River Trails Center. Shane will share images, introduce key figures from the book, and lead the audience through the dramatic events that unfolded in our nation’s capital and border states—stories that resonate deeply with our own region’s Underground Railroad history at places like the Mifflin Farm and along the banks of the Susquehanna River. Copies of Flee North will be available for purchase at the event, and Shane will be available for Q&A and a book signing after the program. Light refreshments will be served.\nWhat’s included\n-1 Hour Book Talk\n-Q&A With Author\n-Light Refreshments\n
