Slave Life in Georgia: A Narrative of the Life of John BrownBooks for Libraries Press, 1971 - 250 страници Recounts the life and later escape of John Brown (approximately 1810-1876), a Black man enslaved in Georgia from the age of ten after being torn from his mother. Brown details the physical abuse and human experimentation he endured at the hands to two plantation owners for over 15 years. After several attempts, he finally managed to escape north, taking the name John Brown in place of his slave name, "Fed." After the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850, Brown sailed to England and worked as a carpenter. In 1855, he dictated his memoir to Louis Chamerovzow, Secretary of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. He remained in England and later married, working as an herbalist until his death in 1876. (Adapted from Wikipedia, viewed February 21, 2023) |
