In this revised and expanded edition of Anna Kingsley’s remarkable life story, Daniel Schafer draws on new discoveries to prove true the longstanding rumors that Anna Madgigine Jai was originally a princess from the royal family of Jolof in Senegal.

Anna Kingsley’s story adds a dramatic chapter to the history of the South, the state of Florida, and the African diaspora.
