The Poison Place

It's a dark night in 1827 when Moses Williams, Charles Willson Peale's former slave, reveals to this daughter this startling account of jealousy, betrayal, and suspicion to be found with the walls of the famous Peale Museum. In a fascinating psychological profile and study of urban slave life in post-Revolutionary Philadelphia, Moses tells a remarkable story indeed.
