"Ellen Craft was born in 1826, in Clinton, Georgia. Like many slaves,
she was the biological daughter of her mother, also a slave, and James
Smith, her mother's wealthy white master. Ellen's own mother was the
daughter of a plantation owner, and Ellen's complexion was so light she
was often confused for another member of her master's family (his white
family, that is)."
A fascinating story. Via George Station and Kee Hinckley.
