A landmark account of the African American experience during the
Civil War and its aftermath
First published in 1892, this stirring novel by the great writer
and activist Frances Harper tells the story of the young daughter
of a wealthy Mississippi planter who travels to the North to attend
school, only to be sold into slavery in the South when it is
discovered that she has Negro blood. After she is freed by the
Union army, she works to reunify her family and embrace her
heritage, committing herself to improving the conditions for blacks
in America.
Through her fascinating characters-including Iola's brother, who
fights at the front in a colored regiment-Harper weaves a vibrant
and provocative chronicle of the Civil War and its consequences
through African American eyes in this critical contribution to the
nation's literature.
