Sailing around the Florida Keys in 1844, forty-five-year-old Jonathan Walker had a price on his head. On board the small boat he had built that winter in Alabama were seven fugitives from slavery. The Cape Cod sailor and abolitionist was wanted in Pensacola, Florida, for his crime: stealing slaves. Only a day's sail from their goal of freedom in British-controlled Bahamas, Walker and the slaves were stopped and seized by bounty hunters. Ordered back to Pensacola for trial, Walker was to suffer a unique punishment in American history: while a packed courtroom watched, a United States marshal was ordered to use a hot branding iron to burn the letters SS, for "slave stealer," into Walker's right hand. In The Man With the Branded Hand: The Life of Jonathan Walker, Abolitionist , distinguished journalist Alvin F. Oickle relates this entire remarkable story of a life devoted to the supposition that "all men are created equal."
