More about the book

Bonga: A Safe Abode in the Wilderness is the story of how an African slave and family made their escape from the West Indies to the Northwoods of the Great Lakes where three generations married into the Ojibwe tribes and distinguished themselves in the fur trade. They were seen with great respect by the Anishinaabeg and white-men alike and propelled themselves into the vortex of the great events that occurred at this time in the making of the territories of the Great Lakes region and the Headwaters of the Mississippi.--Publisher.
