The 1853 memoir and slave narrative by Solomon Northup as told to
and written by David Wilson. Northup, a black man who was born free
in New York, relates his tale, of being tricked to go to
Washington, D.C., where he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in
the Deep South. He was in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana before
smuggling information to friends and family in New York, who in
turn secured his release with the aid of the state. Northup's
account provides extensive details on the slave markets in
Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, and describes the cotton and
sugar cultivation and slave treatment on major plantations in
Louisiana. FLAME TREE451: From mystery to crime, supernatural to
horror and myth, fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers
a healthy diet of werewolves and robots, mad scientists, secret
worlds, lost civilizations and escapist fantasies. Discover a
storehouse of tales, ancient and modern gathered specifically for
the reader of the fantastic. The Foundations titles also explore
the roots of modern fiction and brings together neglected works
which deserve a wider readership as part of a series of classic,
essential books.
