Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Unavailable for several years, Virginia Hamiltonâs award-winning companion to The People Could Fly traces the history of slavery in America in the voices and stories of those who lived it. Leo and Diane Dillonâs brilliant black-and-white illustrations echo the storiesâ subtlety and power, making this book as stunning to look at as it is to read.
âThere is probably no better way to convey the meaning of the institution of slavery as it existed in the United States to young readers than by using, as a text to share and discuss, Many Thousand Gone.â
âThe New York Times Book Review

Rating:  -
The purpose of the book Many Thousand Gone by Virginia Hamilton is to teach others about the many struggles slaves went through and how some people were kind hearted enough to help.
Virginia intended this book for many audiences. She wanted everyone to know about the slavery times.
This book has many stories from the beginning to when slaves were brought over from Africa, to Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, and when the Union enlisted black troops.
