Summary
Quality hardcover edition of this compelling and influential memoirs, an inside account of life as a slave in rural Louisiana, written by a Northern free man who was kidnapped in Washington, D. C. , and sold into brutal slavery. Features… additional interesting and rare images relating to Solomon Northup, such as the actual "manifest of slaves" from the ship that brought him in chains to New Orleans. Proper formatting, unlike any new hardcover edition available today, features legible font, complete text, and modern presentation. Note that other new hardbacks are about half the pages as they make font tiny while still using non-standard paragraph structure. This edition is the only one usable and realistic for new readers, school uses, library collections, and gifting. Soon to be a feature motion picture filmed in New Orleans, rural Louisiana and environs, this historic, gripping, and well-written account is presented by Quid Pro Books (New Orleans) using all the original illustrations from the 1854 edition (plus the added rare images noted above). A book of this importance and interest deserves a complete, library-ready, and professional presentation.
