Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1856, is based on the personal accounts of Peter and Vina Still, a married couple who were slaves in the American South before the Civil War. The author, a prominent abolitionist, spent years gathering their stories, resulting in this rich and moving work. The book recounts Peter's arduous journey from a young boy kidnapped from his home in New Jersey to his eventual purchase of his own and his family's freedom. Along the way, he witnesses the horrors of a system that dehumanizes and brutalizes its victims. Yet, their story is not only one of pain and suffering; it is also a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who fought for their freedom. Through their perseverance and the generosity of a Jewish man who helps Peter buy his own freedom, they are reunited and both eventually purchase the freedom of their children. The book sheds light on the horrors of slavery and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
