But when he meets Denmark Vesey, James is immediately smitten. The formidable first mate persuades James to board his ship, on its way to the revolt in Saint-Domingue. There and on the mainland they join forces with a diverse cast of characters, including a gender nonconforming prophetess, a formerly enslaved jockey, and a Muskogee horse trader. The resulting adventure masterfully mixes real historical figures and events with a riotous retelling of a possible history in which James must decide whether to return to his constrained but composed former life, or join the coalition of Black revolutionaries and Muskogee resistance to fight the American slavers and settlers. 600 10 $a Hemings, James, $d 1765-1801 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Jefferson, Thomas, $d 1743-1826 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Slave insurrections $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Haiti $x History $y Revolution, 1791-1804 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Alternative histories (Fiction) $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025105.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FC0C7DE0673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
