Maybe freedom was something you claimed for yourself.\n\nLike other ex-slaves, Pascal and his older brother Gideon have been promised forty acres and maybe a mule. With the found family they have built along the way, they claim a place of their own.\n\nGreen Gloryland is the most wonderful place on earth, their own farm with a healthy cotton crop and plenty to eat. But the notorious night riders have plans to take it away, threatening to tear the beautiful freedom that the two boys are enjoying for the first time in their young lives.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0689833172\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0689833172.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Robinet, Harriette Gillem|Minor, Wendell\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
