Imagines the back story up to his major life event of Madison Washington, a leader of the "Creole" mutiny. This is one of the stories that is part of the central argument on black sailors and revolution in Fire on the Water by Lenora Warren.

tina94's review against another edition

The depiction of women in this was really something oh man, but I guess it's a product of its time. I think we're going to discuss that aspect in the accompanying seminar I had to read this for which I'm excited for. Loved the intertextual references even though I had to look most of them up, but figuring them out made it kinda exciting.
