A Narrative of William W. Brown a Fugitive Slave Written by Himself (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161444476)

""A Narrative of William W. Brown: A Fugitive Slave Written by Himself"" is an autobiographical account of the life of William Wells Brown, a former slave who escaped to freedom in the mid-19th century. Brown's story is a powerful and moving account of the horrors of slavery, including the physical and emotional abuse he suffered at the hands of his owners. Brown describes his journey to freedom, including his escape from slavery and his subsequent life as a free man. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of slaves during this time period, and it is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history or the struggle for civil rights.""Brother, you have often declared that you would not end your days in slavery. I see no possible way in which you can escape with us; and now, brother, you are on a steamboat where there is some chance for you to escape to a land of liberty. I beseech you not to let us hinder you. If we cannot get our liberty, we do not wish to be the means of keeping you from a land of freedom.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
