Description
The Confessions of Nat Turner is a historical account of the life and actions of Nat Turner, the leader of a slave rebellion in Southampton, Virginia in 1831. The book is written by Thomas R. Gray, a white lawyer who interviewed Turner while he was in jail awaiting trial. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing a detailed account of Turner's life, including his childhood, his religious beliefs, and the events that led up to the rebellion. The second part of the book is Turner's own confession, in which he describes the planning and execution of the rebellion, as well as his motivations for taking such drastic action. The book is considered an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of enslaved people in the United States, and the brutal realities of slavery.This is the original document, as told to a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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
