The little-known report of your eighteenth-century Quaker dwarf who fiercely attacked slavery and dreamed a new, more humane way of life The Fearless Benjamin Place chronicles the transatlantic life and times of a singular and astonishing man - a Quaker dwarf who became one of the first to demand the full total, unconditional emancipation of most enslaved Africans throughout the world. He performed general population guerrilla theatre to pity slave masters, insisting that real human bondage violated the essential rules of Christianity. He had written a fiery, controversial booklet against bondage that Benjamin Franklin shared in 1738. He lived in a cave, made his own clothes, refused to take anything made by slave labor, championed canine privileges, and embraced vegetarianism. He acted on his ideals to create a new, practical, revolutionary way of life.
