History Firsthand
Slavery (hardcover edition)

  • Published by Greenhaven Press

This anthology offers personal accounts from slaves, slaveholders, abolitionists, and outside observers in its examination of the history of slavery in America. Chapters include descriptions of the Middle Passage, the economics of slavery, and slave defiance, rebellion and escape.

Review:

"The contributions in the eclectic mix come from individuals such as Eleanor Roosevelt, actress June Havoc, and hobo Box-Car Bertha, with each person's perspective taking readers directly into the experience through details and eye-opening observations."
-- Booklist (May 2001)
