Originally published in 1897, Thirty Years a Slave is a first person account of life as a slave written by Louis Hughes (1832-1913), an American-born slave belonging to a plantation owner in Charlottesville, Virginia. Having learned to read and write in secret, Hughes wrote this memoir and later became a successful businessman. Thirty Years a Slave offers a glimpse into the harrowing life of American slaves in the nineteenth century and is highly recommended for those wishing to learn about this dark chapter of American history. Contents include: Life on a Cotton Plantation, Social and Other Aspects of Slavery, Slavery and the War of the Rebellion, Rebellion Weakening, Slaves Hopes Strengthening, and Freedom after Slavery. Read & Co. History is republishing this classic autobiography now in a new addition complete with an introductory chapter by Frederick Douglass.
