Summary
"Historical Andover--which includes North Andover and Lawrence--became famous as a hot center of pre-Civil War antislavery activism. Why then was a 100-year-old Andover woman officially counted as a 'slave' in the 1830 federal census for Massachusetts, a 'free' state that had abolished slavery? And who was Rosanna Coburn, still remembered as the 'last slave' born in Andover?" --back cover
