Wentworth Cheswill's Ride: Chasing a Would-Be American Folk Hero - Paperback

by John Herman (Author)

Often called the "Black Paul Revere," Wentworth Cheswill was a pioneering 18th century archeologist, prolific community leader, Revolutionary War soldier, school teacher, judge, founder of an early lending library, and the first person of African descent elected to public office in the United States of America. Wentworth Cheswill's Ride takes readers through three generations in search of the real story behind the forgotten folk hero.
