Publisher's Synopsis

""A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave"" is a memoir written by Frederick Douglass, a former slave who escaped to freedom in the North. The book describes Douglass's life as a slave, his experiences with cruel slave owners, and his eventual escape to freedom. Douglass also discusses the dehumanizing effects of slavery, including the denial of education and the separation of families. The book is a powerful and moving account of the horrors of slavery and the strength and resilience of those who fought against it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, the abolitionist movement, and the ongoing struggle for racial justice.My master's family consisted of two sons, Andrew and Richard; one daughter, Lucretia, and her hus- band, Captain Thomas Auld. They lived in one house, upon the home plantation of Colonel Edward Lloyd. My master was Colonel Lloyd's clerk and superintendent. He was what might be called the overseer of the overseers. I spent two years of child- hood on this plantation in my old master's family.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
