The Life and Exploits of Three-Finger'd Jack

In 1740, Jamaican Maroons-descendants of Africans who escaped slavery and fled to the mountains-signed a treaty with colonial authorities that made it even more difficult for runaway slaves to survive. In the 1770s, a runaway known as Three-Fingered Jack became infamous for defying the British government. The Life and Exploits of Three-Finger'd Jack is a book by William Burdett.
