AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'January 7, 1811, Orleans County, Louisiana, United States of America'

'The man ran as fast as the swampy terrain, the foggy night and his laboring breath would allow.'

'Simon: bonded slave; descendant of Haitian Kings and a sharp intelligent young mind was on the run from his Plantation manager’s grown son. When he met the strange black-skinned warrior from Australia that fateful night, everything he thought he knew about his own life: life in general, and the world around, suddenly altered.'

'That incredible night, the Fethafoot Nhompo dispersed the power of fear that he’d lived under all of his life – and along with his timely appearance he brought the first scent of hope that Simon had ever known.'
