BLACK HISTORY / SLAVERY / HOMESTEADING.A work of historical fiction, based on the true story of a runaway slave who eventually homesteaded in Whitman County, Washington, near Rock Lake. The author re-creates Juba's narrow escape from a Southern plantation in the 1850s and describes the dangers the black slave encountered as he went through the Oregon Territory. Wherever he went, Juba was judged by the color of his skin which greatly added to his troubles.All that remains to remind us of Juba's presence is Negro Creek, a meandering stream that presently flows from a hillside south of Spokane and quietly murmurs: "He was here, he was here."Although the name Juba is fictional, the character is real.
