Frederick Douglass

THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. IN 1841 Douglass entered upon that epoch of his life which brought the hitherto obscure refugee prominently before the public, and in which his services as anti-slavery orator and reformer constitute his chief claim to enduring recollection. Millions of negroes whose lives had been far less bright than Douglass's had lived and died in slavery. Thousands of fugitives under assumed names were winning a precarious livelihood in the free States and trembling in constant fear of the slave-catcher.Chesnutt, Charles Waddell is the author of 'Frederick Douglass', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419220838 and ISBN 1419220837.
