Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1850, explores the complex and evolving landscape of slavery in America. The author, a keen-eyed observer of his time, journeys along the Mississippi River, bearing witness to the stark contrasts between the slave states of the South and the free states of the North.
