Book Description
 
A startling and eye-opening look into America’s First Family, Never Caught is the powerful story
about a daring woman of “extraordinary grit” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). When George
Washington was elected president, he reluctantly left behind his beloved Mount Vernon to serve in
Philadelphia, the temporary seat of the nation’s capital. In setting up his household he brought
along nine slaves, including Ona Judge. As the President grew accustomed to Northern ways,
there was one change he couldn’t abide: Pennsylvania law required enslaved people be set free
after six months of residency in the state. Rather than comply, Washington decided to circumvent
the law. Every six months he sent the slaves back down south just as the clock was about to
expire. Though Ona Judge lived a life of relative comfort, she was denied freedom. So, when the
opportunity presented itself one clear and pleasant spring day in Philadelphia, Judge left
everything she knew to escape to New England. Yet freedom would not come without its costs. At
just twenty-two-years-old, Ona became the subject of an intense manhunt led by George
Washington, who used his political and personal contacts to recapture his property. “A crisp and
compulsively readable feat of research and storytelling” (USA TODAY), historian and National
Book Award finalist Erica Armstrong Dunbar weaves a powerful tale and offers fascinating new
scholarship on how one young woman risked everything to gain freedom from the famous
founding father and most powerful man in the United States at the time.
