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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Conrad Richter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812216792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812216790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.47h x 5.16w x 0.57d","brand":"Conrad Richter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947275452671,"sku":"9780812216790","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2f8ce467-de3b-49f0-a08a-15f14ea348e2.jpg?v=1681517753","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-free-man-conrad-richter-9780812216790","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
