A decade before the American Civil War, James Churchwill Vaughan (1828-1893) set out to fulfil his father's wish that he leave America to start a new life in Africa. Tracing Vaughan's journey from South Carolina to Liberia to several parts of Yorubaland, Lisa Lindsay documents this “free†man's struggle to find economic and political autonomy.
