Slowly, he realized that he was handcuffed in a dark room and his feet were chained to the floor. He managed to slip his hand into his pocket to look for his free papers that proved he was one of 400,000 free blacks in a nation where 2.5 million other African Americans were slaves. They were gone.\n\nThis remarkable story follows Northup through his 12 years of bondage as a man kidnapped into slavery, enduring the hardships of slave life in Louisiana. But the tale also has a remarkable ending. Northup is rescued from his master's cotton plantation in the deep South by friends in New York. This is a compelling tale that looks into a little known slice of history, sure to rivet young readers and adults alike.\n\nNational Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.\nVisit www.natgeoed.org\/commoncore for more information.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1426309376\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1426309376.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fradin, Dennis Brindell\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\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: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
