This is a new edition of a classic slave narrative, now fully
annotated.It is the most celebrated escape in the history of
American slavery. Henry Brown had himself sealed in a
three-foot-by-two-foot box and shipped from Richmond, Virginia, to
Philadelphia, a twenty-seven-hour journey to freedom. In
""Narrative of the Life of Henry Box Brown"", written by Himself,
Brown not only tells the story of his famed escape, but also
recounts his later life as a black man making his way through white
American and British culture. Most important, he paints a revealing
portrait of the reality of slavery, the wife and children sold away
from him, the home to which he could not return, and his rejection
of the slaveholders' religion - painful episodes that fueled his
desire for freedom.This edition comprises the most complete and
faithful representation of Brown's life, fully annotated for the
first time. John Ernest also provides an insightful introduction
that places Brown's life in its historical setting and illuminates
the challenges Brown faced, both before and after his legendary
escape.
