""Come On, Children" The Autobiography of George Washington Fields, Born a Slave in Hanover County, Virgini​a is, put simply, an incredible document. It recounts his escape from enslavement to an eminent career as a blinded lawyer. It does so with a special blend of humor and wisdom, laying out in no uncertain terms the set of values that guided him through his fascinating times. It convinces any reader that this was a great (and greatly likable) man, an inspiration for every law student walking through the doors with the passion and ambition to make a difference."-- Provided by the publisher.
