The inspirational story of William Lewis.
Born into slavery in Tennessee, William Lewis learned the blacksmith trade as soon as he was old enough to grip a hammer. He proved to be an exceptional blacksmith and earned so much money fixing old tools and creating new ones that he was allowed to keep a little money for himself.  With just a few coins in his pocket, Bill set a daring plan in motion:
​he was determined to free his family.

​Winner of Lee & Low s New Voices Award and a Junior Library Guild selection, Hammering for Freedom tells the true story of one man s skill, hard work, and
resolve to keep his family together.

Each one-of-a-kind piece is signed by the artist, guaranteed with a  certificate of authenticity.
