He had traveled to colonial Philadelphia in a ship crowded with starving emigrants, only to discover that it was indentured servitude, not freedom, to which he sailed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConrad Richter's 1943 novel, now restored to print, tells the rousing story of Free's journey, of his time in service, and of his struggle for freedom--his own, and that of the young nation of which he becomes a part. In the process of telling this story, Richter reveals many details about everyday life in eighteenth-century Philadelphia and highlights the little-known part played by the founding fathers of the Pennsylvania Dutch in America's growth to nationhood.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68086798418143,"sku":"9780812216790","price":40.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/zSzfHlhCdv9780812216790.webp?v=1792363959","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-free-man-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
