This book is the first anthology of the autobiographical writings
of Peter Randolph, a prominent nineteenth-century former slave who
became a black abolitionist, pastor, and community leader.
Randolph's story is unique because he was freed and relocated from
Virginia to Boston, along with his entire plantation cohort. A
lawsuit launched by Randolph against his former master's estate
left legal documents that corroborate his autobiographies.
Randolph's writings give us a window into a different experience of
slavery and freedom than other narratives currently available and
will be of interest to students and scholars of African American
literature, history, and religious studies, as well as those with
an interest in Virginia history and mid-Atlantic slavery.
