Description
Narrative Of The Life Of Henry Box Brown is an autobiographical account of the life of Henry Box Brown, a slave who escaped to freedom by mailing himself in a box from Richmond, Virginia to Philadelphia in 1849. The book was first published in 1851 and is a powerful firsthand account of the horrors of slavery and the determination of one man to achieve his freedom.The narrative begins with Brown's childhood as a slave on a plantation in Virginia and describes in detail the daily life of a slave, including the harsh treatment, the back-breaking labor, and the constant fear of being sold or separated from family members. Brown then recounts his decision to escape and the elaborate plan he devised to mail himself to freedom.The book also includes descriptions of the abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad, as well as Brown's experiences as a free man in the North. Brown's narrative is a powerful testimony to the strength and resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression and injustice.Overall, Narrative Of The Life Of Henry Box Brown is a gripping and inspiring account of one man's journey from slavery to freedom, and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the brutal reality of slavery in America.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1851 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
