- I Am a Fugitive from a Georgia Chain Gang
"I Am a Fugitive from a Georgia Chain Gang" is a book written by Robert Elliott Burns in 1932 and published by Grosset & Dunlap.
The book tells the story of Burns' imprisonment on a chain gang in Georgia in the 1920s, his subsequent escape and the furor that developed. It was made into a motion picture "I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang", starring Paul Muni.
The book and movie were both credited with helping to reform deplorable conditions on Deep South chain gangs.
A sequel, "Out of These Chains", was written by Burns' brother, Rev. Vincent Burns, in 1942.
