Description
The Confessions of Nat Turner is a historical account of the life and actions of Nat Turner, the leader of the slave rebellion that took place in Southampton, Virginia in 1831. The book was written by Thomas R. Gray, a lawyer who interviewed Turner while he was in jail awaiting trial.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a narrative of Turner's life, including his upbringing as a slave, his religious beliefs, and his experiences leading up to the rebellion. The second part is Turner's own confession, in which he describes in detail the events of the rebellion, including the murders of white men, women, and children.The Confessions of Nat Turner provides a rare glimpse into the mind of a man who was both a victim of slavery and a perpetrator of violence. It raises important questions about the nature of slavery and the limits of resistance, and it continues to be a controversial and thought-provoking work today.This is the original document, as told to a white southerner name of Thomas Gray. Hmm, you think Styron considered whether or not a white southerner was the right man to tell the tale? -- disclaimer, as a Marylander, I seem to qualify as a white southerner...This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
