Sinopsis

Originally published in 1897, ?Thirty Years a Slave? is a first person account of life as a slave written by Louis Hughes (1832?1913), an American-born slave belonging to a plantation owner in Charlottesville, Virginia. Having learned to read and write in secret, Hughes wrote this memoir and later became a successful businessman. ?Thirty Years a Slave? offers a glimpse into the harrowing life of American slaves in the nineteenth century and is highly recommended for those wishing to learn about this dark chapter of American history. Contents include: ?Life on a Cotton Plantation?, ?Social and Other Aspects of Slavery?, ?Slavery and the War of the Rebellion?, ?Rebellion Weakening, Slaves? Hopes Strengthening?, and ?Freedom after Slavery?. Read & Co. History is republishing this classic autobiography now in a new addition complete with an introductory chapter by Frederick Douglass.
