Life and times of Frederick Douglass
Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, first published in 1881, is the third and fullest of his autobiographies. Douglass retells his childhood in slavery in Maryland, his struggle to learn to read, his fight with the slave-breaker Covey and his escape to freedom in 1838, then continues with his life as a free man: his work with the abolitionists, his lecture tours in Britain, his newspaper, his friendship with John Brown, his recruiting of Black regiments, his meetings with Lincoln and Johnson, and his later public offices. Written with dignity and force, it is the record of an extraordinary American life. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
