The gripping story of 200 freed Mississippi slaves who sailed to Liberia to build a new colony - where the colonists' repression of the native tribes would beget a tragic cycle of violence. When a wealthy Mississippi cotton planter named Isaac Ross died in 1836, his will decreed that his plantation, Prospect Hill, should be liquidated and the proceeds from the sale be used to pay for his slaves' passage to the newly established colony of Liberia in western Africa.

Narration is a little weak, but good book
Revisado: 08-20-20
The story and the book are great, but the narrator doesn't seems to lack understanding of the African continent, cities, and the librarian dialect. He mispronounced several places: (Conakra instead of Conakry --- pronounced "Conakrih", and Burkina, instead of just Burkina-Fasso (there is no country called Burkina or Fasso, it's one name). He also doesn't used the Liberian dialect which most readers wouldn't be aware off but as someone from that part of the world, it was hard to follow that part of the book.
Otherwise, it's a great book with an interesting story. The narrator did well at the beginning of the book, but fell a little short when dealing with the African continent.
