Narrative of The Life of Frederick Douglass An American Slave

Frederick Douglass

Douglass’ searing memoir, first published in 1845 was one of the first firsthand accounts of slavery. It outraged those who had no idea of slavery’s real conditions and its impact on both slaver and slave. This is the first of Douglass’ three biographies and despite the years that have passed is still one of history’s most compelling accounts of life in slavery.
