Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom (1860) is a remarkable slave narrative written by William and Ellen Craft, recounting their daring escape from slavery in Georgia to freedom in the North. Their story is one of the most dramatic and ingenious escapes in American history.

After the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 made the North unsafe, the Crafts fled to England, where they continued their activism. Their book remains a powerful firsthand account of resilience and defiance against oppression.
