Description

Escaping Servitude presents a comprehensive documentary history through curated runaway servant advertisements from eighteenth-century Virginia newspapers. This edited collection offers scholars and history enthusiasts a primary source window into indentured servitude and the lives of those who fled their contracts. The advertisements themselves reveal personal details about fugitives, their backgrounds, and the conditions they escaped, enriching our understanding of colonial American labour systems. By compiling these historical notices, the work addresses a significant gap in scholarly literature on indentured servitude during a transformative period in American history. The collection serves both as an invaluable research resource for academics studying the Chesapeake region and as an accessible entry point for readers interested in the often-overlooked stories of working people in colonial times.
