About this ebook
Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in 1818. He was separated from his mother as a baby and lived with his grandmother up to the age of eight, when he was sent to live as a house servant, a field hand and then a ship caulker. He escaped to New York in 1838 and seven years later published Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an autobiography of his life as a slave, which became an instant bestseller. Douglass rose to fame as a powerful orator and spent the rest of his life campaigning for equality. He became a national leader of the abolitionist movement, a consultant to Abraham Lincoln in the civil rights movement and a passionate supporter of the women’s rights movement. He died in 1895.

Reviews for Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great, but disturbing book, which I have always intended to read and now finally have. I was especially struck by the affect of learning to read on Mr. Douglass, and on the terrible moral affect of slavery on slaveholders, and of course the monstrous treatment of slaves. It is a needed antidote to those who claim many slaves were well taken care of by masters. This is a book I will reread.
