He had traveled to colonial Philadelphia in a ship crowded with starving emigrants, only to discover that it was indentured servitude, not freedom, to which he sailed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConrad Richter's 1943 novel, now restored to print, tells the rousing story of Free's journey, of his time in service, and of his struggle for freedom--his own, and that of the young nation of which he becomes a part. In the process of telling this story, Richter reveals many details about everyday life in eighteenth-century Philadelphia and highlights the little-known part played by the founding fathers of the Pennsylvania Dutch in America's growth to nationhood.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConrad Richter was a prolific and popular novelist, short-story writer, and naturalist.
