    "description": "<p>When the Washingtons moved from Mount Vernon in Virginia to Philadelphia, then the seat of the nation's capital, they took nine enslaved people with them. They would serve as cooks and horsemen, as house servants and personal attendants. The north was different for the entire household. Indeed, there was even a Pennsylvania law requiring slaveholders to free their slaves after three months. Yet George Washington thought he could outwit and circumvent the law by sending his slaves south every six months, thereby resetting the clock. Ona Judge, Martha Washington's chief, attendant, figured out the subterfuge and risked everything in search of freedom. This is the story not onlycl of the powerful lure of liberty but also of George. Washington's determination to recapture his property by whatever means necessary. Never caught is an important new work on one of the worlds most celebrated families, and is the only book that examines the life of an 18 century fugitive woman in intricate detail. Never caught is 's must read for anyone interested in American history.</p>",
