Summary: "Early nineteenth-century Northerners had difficulty imagining the lives of Southern slaves. In writing this narrative, Frederick Douglass, a fugitive slave, revealed his slave name, the names of his masters and overseers, and the locations of his servitude. This starkly honest and verifiable account appalled readers and gave new momentum to the abolitionist movement. It is a shocking today as when it was originally published." -- from the dust jacket flap.
