About This Book
Two slaves, Joe Cudjo and his wife Janie, run away from a Georgia plantation, taking a small boat down the river into Florida. There on the riverbank was the "Negro Fort," a stronghold of runaway slaves and renegade Indians.
At the fort, Joe becomes a soldier in its army. He and Janie begin a new life in a prosperous community of a thousand free blacks. But when an American invasion is mounted to destroy the fort, Joe and the others must fight to save their dream.
Based upon fact, NEGRO FORT is a story that has never been told.
