The career of the Franco-Italian slave trader Theodore Canot
(1804-60) was long and eventful. This intimate and sometimes
graphic insight into the slave trade, first published in 1854, was
edited by the American historian and author Brantz Mayer (1809-79),
who compiled it in close collaboration with Canot. Brantz
considered his subject to be a man of unquestionable integrity
whose story needed to be heard. Beginning with Canot's introduction
to seafaring, the book is enriched by vivid anecdotes and
occasional illustrations. From an encounter with Lord Byron to
shocking descriptions of massacres, the narrative describes
multiple aspects of the slave trade: purchasing slaves; storing
human cargo; the suppression of slave revolts; the establishment of
the slave trade in new regions; and the legal, financial and
practical requirements of running a slave ship. A counterpoint to
accounts by slaves themselves, this work reflects the attitudes of
its time.
