The biography of freed slave Sylvia Stark retraces her remarkable journey to California at age twelve; the effect of the Dred Scott Decision on her family; and their subsequent flight to Canada. By the author of Black Heroes of the Wild West.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Sylvia Stark is a true story of an African American pioneer. Sylvia was freed from slavery at age twelve and traveled the Oregon Trail by covered wagon to a California gold-mining town. In 1860, threatened by the Fugitive Slave Act and the Dred Scott decision, Sylvia's family and 600 other African Americans left California by ship for British Columbia. The Starks settled on Salt Spring Island where Sylvia lived to be 105. This engaging book is full of historical facts, maps, illustrations and archival photos.
