Description:  1 online resource (489 p.) : ill., maps. Requests:  0 Summary:  In late 1832, a young missionary couple sailed from the Chesapeake Bay, headed for western Africa. John Leighton Wilson and his wife, Jane, were traveling to the colony of Liberia, where they and their fellow passengers, mostly liberated slaves and freeborn African Americans, hoped to find an alternative to the inequality of the American South. Soon after their arrival, though, conflict erupted between the settlers and their Grebo and Mpongwe neighbors, shattering the Wilsons' utopian dreams. The true nightmare, however, came when they returned to the United States.   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
