Narrative of the Life and Times of Frederick Douglass

This eloquent and dramatic autobiography of the early life of an American slave was first published in 1845, when its author was twenty eight years old & had just achieved his freedom. Although it was not uncommon during the era of American slavery for articulate Blacks who escaped to have their experiences published, Narrative Of The Life & Times Of Frederick Douglass is unique among these slave narratives because of Douglass's eloquent power of expression.
