""A Narrative of William W. Brown: A Fugitive Slave Written by Himself"" is a memoir written by William Wells Brown, an African American who escaped slavery in the mid-19th century. The book provides a vivid and harrowing account of Brown's life as a slave in Missouri and Kentucky, including his experiences with brutal treatment, family separation, and the constant fear of being sold or punished. Brown's escape to freedom and subsequent life in the North are also detailed, including his work as an abolitionist speaker and writer. The book offers a firsthand perspective on the horrors of slavery and the struggles of those who sought to escape its grasp. It is a powerful and important work that sheds light on a dark chapter in American history.""Brother, you have often declared that you would not end your days in slavery. I see no possible way in which you can escape with us; and now, brother, you are on a steamboat where there is some chance for you to escape to a land of liberty. I beseech you not to let us hinder you. If we cannot get our liberty, we do not wish to be the means of keeping you from a land of freedom.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
