In a time of post-Revolutionary fervor in Richmond, Virginia, an imposing twentyfour- year-old slave named Gabriel plotted a rebellion involving thousands of African-American freedom seekers armed with refashioned pitchforks and other implements of Gabriel s blacksmith trade.
The revolt would be thwarted by a confluence of fierce weather and human betrayal, but Gabriel retained his dignity to the end. Interwoven with original documents, this poignant, illuminating novel gives a personal face to a remarkable moment in history.
This edition includes extensive research notes on the story behind the plot.
