Sommario/riassunto |
|
Originally published in order to raise money to purchase his son's freedom, Thomas Jones's autobiography first appeared in the 1850's. This version, published in 1885, includes not only Jones's account of his childhood and young adult life as a slave in North Carolina, but also a long additional section in which Jones describes his experiences as a minister in North Carolina, while still enslaved, and then on the abolitionist lecture circuit in Massachusetts and the Maritime Provinces of Canada after he stowed away on a ship bound for New York in 1849. |
