Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

Vintage 1968 printing, good vintage condition

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass takes us into the fields, cabins, and manors of the pre-Civil War plantations in the South, revealing the daily terrors of the slave, the heartlessness of the slaveholders. Written more than a century ago by a Negro who become a leader of his people, this classic speaks directly to our age. It is a record of savegery and inhumanity that goes far to explain why America still suffers from the great injustices of the past.
