Description

A Vintage Classics edition of the abolitionist leader’s classic autobiography. • In telling his personal story, Douglass gives eloquent expression to the principles that made him the first great African-American leader in the United States.

This dramatic autobiography of the early life of an American slave was first published in 1845, when its young author had just achieved his freedom. Frederick Douglass’s childhood in Maryland was marked by tragedy, physical abuse, and deprivation; he had limited contact with his mother and no knowledge of his father (who might have been his owner), and he regularly endured brutal beatings. Yet despite his harrowing experiences, through determination and sheer force of character he was able to secretly acquire literacy and eventually escape to the North, where he became a forceful and dazzling proponent of abolition.

About the Author

Frederick Douglass (né Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey) was born a slave in the state of Maryland in 1818. After his escape from slavery, Douglass became a renowned abolitionist, editor and feminist. Having escaped from slavery at age 20, he took the name Frederick Douglass for himself and became an advocate of abolition. Douglass traveled widely, and often perilously, to lecture against slavery.His first of three autobiographies,The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, was published in 1845. In 1847 he moved to Rochester, New York, and started working with fellow abolitionistMartin R. Delanyto publish a weekly anti-slavery newspaper,North Star. Douglass was the only man to speak in favor ofElizabeth Cady Stanton's controversial plank of woman suffrage at the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. As a signer of the Declaration of Sentiments, Douglass also promoted woman suffrage in hisNorth Star. Douglass and Stanton remained lifelong friends.In 1870 Douglass launched The New National Era out of Washington, D.C. He was nominated for vice-president by the Equal Rights Party to run with Victoria Woodhull as presidential candidate in 1872. He became U.S. marshal of the District of Columbia in 1877, and was later appointed minister resident and consul-general to Haiti. His District of Columbia home is a national historic site. D. 1895.More:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic...http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4p1...http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/exhi...http://www.loc.gov/collection/frederi...http://www.nps.gov/frdo/index.htmhttp://www.cr.nps.gov/museum/exhibits...
