Their story as politicians and friends began the moment they met and is a model for others seeking true reconciliation.

Using census data, penitentiary reports, and railroad company reports, Nelson reveals how John Henry, victimized by Virginia's notorious Black Codes, was shipped to the infamous Richmond Penitentiary to become prisoner number 497, and was forced to labor on the mile-long Lewis Tunnel for the C&O railroad.

And yet, few Americans are familiar with him aside from the fact that he was his father's son and the sixth president of the United States.
