Narrative of William W. Brown, a Fugitive Slave

By William Wells Brown

About this book

William Wells Brown recalls being born into slavery near Lexington, the people who controlled his labor, and the choices he made while trying to escape. His account takes readers through the movement of people and goods that sustained slavery. Written for an abolitionist audience, it also shows what he wanted readers to understand about the system he had left.
