The Young Texans Series Tiny's Emancipation — Linda Baten Johnson

This is a Historical Chapter Book with a unit study at the end. “Juneteenth” Tiny's Emancipation Tiny Mason has nothing of her own--even her last name belongs to her master. In June of 1865, the Texas slaves hear rumors that the war is over and that they will soon be free. Tiny, impatient for freedom, sneaks away from the Mason Plantation in the back of a wagon bound for Galveston. In that city, she hears United States Major General Granger read the proclamation that the slaves are free--an announcement made on June 19, 1865. Tiny joins the spontaneous celebration of her release from slavery, but her former owner, Miz Mason, tries to prevent the young girl from living a free life and reaching her goals of learning to read and write.
