Slave Testimony: Two Centuries of Letters, Speeches, Interviews, and Autobiographies Paperback - 1977
by John W. Blassingame (Editor)
First line
HISTORIANS HAVE LONG GIVEN top priority to personal letters in their efforts to ascertain the effect of events and institutions on people.
From the rear cover
Between the covers of Slave Testimony readers will find the largest collection of annotated and authenticated accounts of slaves ever published in one volume. In them, the slaves of Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, Henry Clay, and others speak for themselves about their culture, plantation life, the adequacy of their food, clothing, and shelter, the sexual exploitation of black women, and the psychological response to bondage. The views given are those of house servants and field hands, docile slaves and rebels, urban slaves and rural slaves, slaves with kind masters and those with cruel ones. These wide-ranging documents, together with annotations, notes, an index, dozens of illustrations, and an incisive introduction, form a volume of unusual scope and character.
