Originally published in order to raise money to purchase his son's
freedom, Thomas Jones's autobiography first appeared in the 1850s.
This version, published in 1885, includes not only Jones's account
of his childhood and young adult life as a slave in North Carolina,
but also a long additional section in which Jones describes his
experiences as a minister in North Carolina, while still enslaved,
and then on the abolitionist lecture circuit in Massachusetts and
the Maritime Provinces of Canada after he stowed away on a ship
bound for New York in 1849. The narrative's most prominent focus is
on Jones's ministry in and around Wilmington, North Carolina,
before he escaped. The narrative puts a characteristically
postbellum emphasis on shared religious devotion and even fondness
between African Americans and whites. Perhaps the most compelling
scene, however, is Jones's account of his forcible separation from
his first wife and their three children, whom he never saw again. A
