Summary
While on his first hunt with his father, young Kimbo is kidnapped from the jungles of Africa to become part of the 19th-century Virginia slave trade. Sold like property to various masters, he makes his escape after he's entered into a boxing match against a big man named Barnyard Willie. In the midst of his escape, he comes upon a lost little White girl, and as he tries to help her, a family of kidnappers descend upon them and grab both him and the girl, until "nobody" sets them free.
Once he gets the girl to safety, his adventure continues until he's captured and delivered to a master who wants to kill him when he tries to run off with a kitchen girl to find the Underground Railroad. Redeemed from bondage by an old preacher who stands up to the master, Kimbo is shown what true freedom really is.

Slaves Diary.
His first day out learning to hunt for food with his parent and both Kimbo and his father end up as captives of unscrupulous slave hunters. Thus starts the story of a 12 year old African boy sold for very little and his transportation to America to work as a slave. He suffers cruel masters and half decent ones until having grown into an adult he is eventually made a free man. The story is well written and moves along at a good pace, it creates many different feelings and emotions in the listener as Kimbo is used and abused and treated as worthless until the end of the story when he is shown great appreciation but that is for the reader to find out. Kevin Barbare does a wonderful job of narrating the story taking the listener along with him to Kimbo's side.
