First edition of this semi-historical civil rights narrative by Jane S. Collins, whose husband ran the first racially-integrated school in Indiana during the Civil War. Octavo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine, illustrated with frontispiece and 15 plates. In very good condition. Ownership inscription. Rare. A semi-historical narrative of civil rights, the hero of Free at Last is the well-educated son of formerly enslaved parents who demands admission to the White House to meet President Chester Arthur and General Grant. The wife of a Presbyterian clergyman who directed the first racially-integrated school in Indiana during the Civil War, Jane Collins gained notoriety as an anti-liquor crusader in the 1870s. She was arrested twice for leading âsit-insâ in saloons during which she and her white female followers knelt in prayer on bar-room floors â" an early form of civil disobedience which foreshadowed the passive resistance of Martin Luther Kingâs civil rights movement a hundred years later.
