What an incredible piece of history. Startling and inspiring at once. In Ona Judge Staines, I'd say we have a new American hero. A 22-year old enslaved girl who chose a dirt poor fugitive's life in New Hampshire over a "privileged" life of slavery, a girl who ran away from no less than the beloved first president of the USA! Her courage is hard to fathom. And the Washingtons -- wow -- how slyly and relentlessly they chased her down. Amazing story. Must read!
Since learning about the Broadway Play Hamilton, I have been obsessed with the American Revolution. The history books are filled with harrowing tales of the Founding Fathers, stories undoubtedly pieced together from scores of journals and papers recorded by the Founders themselves. Never do you hear tales of the Founding Fathers from a slave's perspective. I'm sure one would find that, contrary to how these men pictured themselves, they were neither hero nor martyr in the privacy of their homes. That is what makes this story so unique! Most slaves could neither read nor write, so most historical accounts are not from their perspective. Thousands of slave stories left this earth unrecorded. It took the brilliance and curiosity of Dr. Dunbar to finally tell this story of a brave Ona Judge who risked everything for freedom; a slave who escaped the service of the most powerful man in the US at the time.Dr. Dunbar used her skill as a researcher and understanding of African American history to weave together a detailed story about a fierce young woman born into slavery, the property of an estate. What an incredibly difficult task it must have been to piece together such a complex story without concrete facts. Dunbar's ability to draw inferences based on the time period allowed Ona's story to take shape. The attention to detail gave depth and breadth to the historical breadcrumbs left by a woman who chose life as a fugitive over slavery.My life has been forever impacted by this story. Born in another time, I don't know that I would have had Ona Judge's same courage to leave everything that I knew for a life of uncertainty, forever looking over my shoulder. Leaving my family, succumbing to fear, unable to find employment, illiterate, poor, all of these things would paralyze me, which is why I look to Ona Judge as a modern day hero.
As a prolific reader of revolutionary history, I had read about Ona Judge in other books about George and Martha Washington. So little has been mentioned of her because it was an enormous embarrassment to the Washingtons that she ran away from being enslaved by such a prestigious first family. Ona Judge had come to the Washington's massive collection of over three hundred slaves when she was an infant. She worked exclusively for Martha Washington in every capacity of a personal maid and was shocked and horrified that Martha would callously give her away to her incredibly selfish and nasty-tempered granddaughter as a wedding present! This book is the story of her to run . A fascinating book! Highly recommend!
This is a story you don't learn in grade school--or college either--about the Washingtons and their relationship with their slaves and their political ideology. It opened my eyes about the first ever First Family and their times. Unfortunately, we don't all know our own history very well, but this book will help alleviate that problem. Although the story is well-researched, the Ona Judge story had to be told mostly based on generalities about slavery and what Judge was likely thinking during her enslavement and subsequent escape. That removed way of telling the story was the book's main drawback. I highly recommend this book anyway as it reveals the life of a remarkable but little known woman in American history. Her story is as necessary for school children to know as is the George and Martha Washington story.
While the author's agenda is clear regarding her critique of GW's treatment of his slaves, there's too much "presentism" in judging 18th century figures by 21st century standards. In checking the end notes regarding Washington's alleged physical abuse of slaves, there's too much "some believe" or "it has been reported" rather than rigorous scholarship. Assertions that have not been solidly verified should not be included in scholarly works.
I am probably like a lot of people in that i know the general outline of George and Martha Washington's life from what I learned in high school but beyond that I am not too familiar with the details. I knew that Washington was wealthy and made his money from a tobacco plantation but beyond that that is about all we hear about the hundreds of slaves that he owned that created his family's vast wealth. This book goes a long way towards filling in that gap and reveling a part of the Washington's lives that I would imagine most people are not all that familiar with. Ona Judge was one of two of the Washington's slaves that ran away and were successful in not being caught and returned. The author does a great job of telling her story and putting it in the context of what was going on at the time both in the nation and the Washington household. Telling the story of slaves is no easy task since the sources that are available are so thing when it comes to first person accounts of the lives of the enslaved. They are in effect invisible to historians to a certain degree and this allows them to be ignored and the role the played and the hardships they endured to be downplayed. Never Caught pulls back the veil on a small part of that by telling this story. The author has to do a fair amount of speculation about Judge's motivations but makes a convincing case for what she did and why she did it. If I have one criticism of the book I would have liked to have had more of judge's own words in the book as limited as they may have been. This book is a quick and interesting read and would be of interest to anyone wanting to lean more about the early history of this country as well as well as the the lives of out first president and how slavery was an issue even at the beginning of this nations history.
