Resumen del Editor
Actor Mahershala Ali (House of Cards, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay) performs the gripping tale of an armed band of Confederate deserters and slaves living in a mixed-race community who rose up against the Confederate Cavalry in 1863 to form their own republic, free of slavery, in what is now the state of Mississippi. The community they formed - and the ambiguous racial identity of their descendants - confounded the rules of the segregated South well into the 20th century.
In bridging the gap between the legendary and the real Free State of Jones, author Victoria Bynum unwraps the legend - what was told, what was embellished, and what was left out.

With élan and erudition - and with winning enthusiasm - Henry Louis Gates Jr. gives us a corrective yet loving homage to Rogers' work. Relying on the latest scholarship, Gates leads us on a romp through African, diasporic, and African American history in question-and-answer format. Among the 100 questions: Who were Africa's first ambassadors to Europe? Who was the first black president in North America? Did Lincoln really free the slaves? Who was history's wealthiest person? What percentage of white Americans have recent African ancestry?

Historia
Philippe Girard shows how Toussaint Louverture transformed himself from lowly freedman into revolutionary hero as the mastermind of the bloody slave revolt of 1791. By 1801, Louverture was governor of the colony where he had once been a slave. But his lifelong quest to be accepted as a member of the colonial elite ended in despair: he spent the last year of his life in a French prison cell. His example nevertheless inspired anticolonial and Black nationalist movements well into the 20th century.

Most Americans believe that slavery was a creature of the South, and that Northern states and territories provided stops on the Underground Railroad for fugitive slaves on their way to Canada. In this paradigm-shifting book, celebrated historian Tiya Miles reveals that slavery was at the heart of the Midwest's iconic city: Detroit. In this richly researched and eye-opening book, Miles has pieced together the experience of the unfree - both native and African American - in the frontier outpost of Detroit.

Washington was born and raised among Blacks and mixed-race people; he and his wife had blood ties to the slave community. Yet as a young man he bought and sold slaves without scruple, even raffled off children to collect debts (an incident ignored by earlier biographers). Then, on the Revolutionary battlefields where he commanded both Black and White troops, Washington's attitudes began to change.

Historia
The American Revolution was a home-front war that brought scarcity, bloodshed, and danger into the life of every American, and Carol Berkin shows us that women played a vital role throughout the struggle. Berkin takes us into the ordinary moments of extraordinary lives. We see women boycotting British goods in the years before independence, writing propaganda that radicalized their neighbors, raising funds for the army, and helping finance the fledgling government. We see how they managed farms, plantations, and businesses while their men went into battle.

Often remembered as the president who died shortly after taking office, William Henry Harrison remains misunderstood by most Americans. Before becoming the ninth president of the United States in 1841, Harrison was instrumental in shaping the early years of westward expansion. Robert M. Owens now explores that era through the lens of Harrison’s career, providing a new synthesis of his role in the political development of Indiana Territory and in shaping Indian policy in the Old Northwest.

African Founders explores the little-known history of how enslaved people from different regions of Africa interacted with colonists of European origins to create new regional cultures in the colonial United States. The Africans brought with them linguistic skills, novel techniques of animal husbandry and farming, and generations-old ethical principles, among other attributes. This startling history reveals how much our country was shaped by these African influences in its early years, producing a new distinctly American culture.

To his contemporaries in Gilded Age Manhattan, Guillermo Eliseo was a fantastically wealthy Mexican, the proud owner of a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park, a busy Wall Street office, and scores of mines and haciendas in Mexico. But for all his obvious riches and his elegant appearance, Eliseo was also the possessor of a devastating secret: He was not, in fact, from Mexico at all. Rather, he had begun life as a slave named William Ellis, born on a cotton plantation in Texas during the waning years of King Cotton.

The Scots-Irish were 40 percent of the Revolutionary War army; they included the pioneers Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clark, Davy Crockett, and Sam Houston; they were the writers Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain; and they have given America numerous great military leaders, including Stonewall Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Audie Murphy, and George S. Patton, as well as most of the soldiers of the Confederacy (only five percent of whom owned slaves, and who fought against what they viewed as an invading army).

Fascinating story for the Civil War enthusiast, as well as those are interested in the American Civil Rights movement. A bit hard to follow via audio as the Knight family tree speeds through the Revolutionary War all the into the mid twentieth century.

Enlightening
It is rare that one would come across a book of historical essays in which is educational, informative and entertaining. It is not entertaining in the original sense where the author wrote with such flowery pose but the way that she weaved previous books written on the subject into the Free State of Jones. This is not a one time read. It is to be read and re-read until it is in the marrow of one's bones.

Great book, but not meant for audio
Would you listen to The Free State of Jones again? Why?
No I wouldn't listen to it again, because the book is truly not meant for audio. There is way to many names and dates for a listener, it gets confusing at time trying to remember who is who... that being said, I can only imagine that the actual book is well worth it!?
Any additional comments?
This book is very well written and researched, it is just not for the audio listener.

Great story!
overall, I found myself really enjoying the book. Details surrounding the narrative were fantastic, and offered a lot of insight into a different side of the Confederate South, which I was previously unfamiliar with. My only complaint is that the readers cadence was sometimes a bit too repetitive. His vice was fantastic, but combined with the somewhat rhythmic nature of his reading, I found it almost hypnotic.

Sometimes It All Comes Together-- A Dream
I’m the executive producer of this audiobook-- so of course I am one of its biggest fans. But I thought you might like to know a little behind the scenes.
Like most people, I had no idea that there were white and white/black communities of the deep South that resisted the Confederacy and rejected slavery. They were not as “prim” as the Northern abolitionists, to say the least! I was fascinated to meet the author, Victoria Bynum, who had learned she herself was a Jones County descendant.
When she began work on the film-to-be, we started talking about how we could bring the audiobook to life in a new way. What a dream it was to work with co-star Mahershala Ali, who brought so much respect and interest to every little detail of the performance. I LOVE real American history from primary sources, all the little clues about what really happened, behind the cliches. All politics is “personal,” and “local”! This is the kind of story that proves that a million times over...

wonderful book but.....
The author should have narrated. Marshall Ali is a wonderful actor but terrible narrator who swallows syllables to the extent I had to use Google to figure out many names in the book.

A Masterpiece!
Thank you Professor Bynam for this informative, engaging and inspiring historic work; beautifully narrated by Mr. Ali. For someone of mixed ancestry like myself it is a veritable, educational and edifying read, as it carefully yet explicitly details the roots of dysfunction that still plague race relations in the U.S.A.; both between Blacks & others, as well as within the Black community itself. I hope the upcoming film prompts more people to read this masterpiece thoroughly.

Excellent collected knowledge almost lost
While the attempted ties to modern social issues do this story a great disservice, they are relegated to the end and can be ignored. This is one of the most honest and revealing books about the civil war era and is a must read/listen for everyone who remotely cares about American history.
