Despite being held in a slave State and despite her rights being judged by white, slaveholding men, she prevailed. Her persistence, determination and intelligence made her, as one witness phrased it, \"the best lawyer\" her family had. This is also the story of the witnesses for and against Rose, all white, who speak to us in their own words, taken from case documents in the State Archives of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Follow Rose as she is taken from her mother in Virginia to Kentucky and passed from Master to Master until 1833, when she began a legal process covering four States, multiple Kentucky counties, four trials, an appeal and nearly nineteen years . and see why her descendants should be proud of her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arnold Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595506615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595506613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Arnold Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44227525837055,"sku":"9780595506613","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b877a72-e679-4e9f-b548-e92a833258b5.jpg?v=1692809177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rose-a-woman-of-colour-arnold-taylor-9780595506613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
