Nightjohn has many facts, details, and events that contribute to the historical accuracy of the book. I outlined some more concrete examples: a person is risking his life to teach other children in the surrounding farms how to read and write. The owner of the farm will whip themselves to move slowly to their slaves and if they decide to run, they will go out with any dog and two wild hands, even after any slave. He took the two field workers, so they saw what happened and were able to tell the story in the dorm.
Knight John is the story of the southern part of slavery. Based on the actual case, Gary Paulson tells a slave girl, Sani teaching to read another slave called slave Jon. This book is very well written, there are dialects that make the book more interesting. Knight John ran to the north where he was taught to read, but he continued back to the south to further educate the slaves of the plantation. Nightjohn met Sarny and convinced her that she should learn to read. Knowing the result, everyone else fell asleep every night. Nightjohn taught Sarny a letter. Nightjohn asked Sarny to promise to never say or write the letter he taught her. He told Sani, "Know things, let me know things, not good for them, I think they want it if they want to make it worse, they are not. Read the reasons I am pleased. "
Nightjohn of Gary Paulson is the story of Stanley. She is an orphan of social practice, taken away from the mother of birth, and brought up by other slaves.

As Nightjohn teaches Sarney's alphabet, she can learn to read. This is dangerous, but Sani wants to learn. Finally, she talks about the story Nightjohn wants.
