SYNOPSIS: 


Dred Scott’s Virginia by Jeffrey Allen Hines is an historical non-fiction about Dred Scott and the Blow family of Southampton County, Virginia. Walk With You is based on this book. An integral part of this book is the Blow Family’s financial support of Dred Scott in his pursuit of  freedom for himself, his wife, and two daughters, that culminated in the 1857 Supreme Court Decision that bears his name.


Dred was probably the most traveled popular servant in United States History. Scott and his family traveled over five thousand miles through 19th Century America. He briefly encountered four United States President's, two wannabe Presidents, an inventor, an explorer, a writer, and two freedom fighters. In his travels across 19th century America he met two Native American chiefs that saw peaceful coexistence as a solution and two commanding Generals whose armies fought the greatest battles on American soil. All of these people shared valuable insights on the major topic of the day that influenced Dred’s decision to seek freedom for his family. These encounters with Dred are secondary to Dred’s relationship with the children he raised and grew up with spanning five decades during the first part of the 19th Century. A time that shaped the path of our country.
