When Thomas Reynold's best friend, Daniel Russell, a slave by birth, was in danger of being taken from his kindly owner and sold by a heartless bank owner, Thomas and his pa devised a dangerous plan to help Daniel escape westward into Indian Territory. Set during the early days of the Civil War, in the spring of 1862, in the northwest corner of Arkansas, "West to Freedom" is the story of that journey and the dangers encountered along the way.
