Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and Other Writings - Frederick Douglass - Hardcover

After escaping slavery, Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) recounted his early life to Northern audiences hundreds of times. In these talks he disguised details that would allow slave catchers to identify him, so some critics accused him of inventing the entire story. He decided to write an autobiography that would omit nothing: "I was induced to write out the leading facts connected with my experience in slavery, giving names of persons, places, and dates-thus putting it in the power of any who doubted, to ascertain the truth or falsehood of my story of being a fugitive slave." The most famous first-hand account of slavery in America, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (1845) has not lost its power to shock and inspire.Douglass, Frederick is the author of 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and Other Writings - Frederick Douglass - Hardcover' with ISBN 9781587260827 and ISBN 1587260824.
