Description

Told for the first time in picture book form is the true story of James Lafayette-an enslaved person who spied for George Washington's army during the American Revolution.

After his resounding defeat at the battle of Yorktown, British general Charles Cornwallis made a point of touring the American camp, looking for the reason behind his loss.

What he didn't expect to see was James, an escaped enslaved person who had served as a guide to the British army. Or at least that's what Cornwallis was led to believe.

In fact, James wasn't actually a runaway-he was a spy for the American army. But while America celebrated its newfound freedom, James returned to slavery in Virginia.

His service as a spy hadn't qualified him for the release he'd been hoping for.

For James the fight wasn't over; his next adversary was the Virginia General Assembly.

He'd already helped his country gain its freedom, now it was time to win his own.
