Publisher's Synopsis
Samuel Booker couldn't tell you the exact time and place he was born, nor does he care to. Although his recollections are worn and thin, he knows he was a son, a husband, maybe a father, a slave, a black man, a nigger. These are what he was for the time. An innocent man, wrongfully accused of a crime that never happened. An outlaw, a renegade, a lonely man. According to the United States Constitution, he is an ex-slave, but according to the United States Criminal Code, he is a wanted man.
