This book is being held for a client. Please inquire if interrested
Olive green cloth the titles are in stamped gilt with a box border on the front. Bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Spine lettering dulled; light foxing to some text pages; else very good. 12mo; 7.5 inches tall; xii, 292 pp. Illustrated with a Frontispiece, 14 plates (including map). First Edition.. The Haitian Revolution has been described as the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere. Slaves initiated the rebellion in 1791 and by 1803 they had succeeded in ending not just slavery but French control over the colony.
Background Information:
Theophilus Gould Steward was the son of free Blacks in New Jersey and an ordained Minister of the A.M.E. Church.
He ministered to congregations in Reconstruction Georgia and later in Haiti, as well as a Wilberforce University Doctor of Divinity. Joining the US Colored Infantry as an Army Chaplain in Buffalo Soldier days, he saw active service in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War, and helped found the American Negro Academy, the first major society of African-American scholarship.
During two decades as Professor of History at Wilbeforce until his death in 1924, he wrote this now-classic history of the 'fierce and bloody' revolt of Haiti's Blacks against European colonial domination, which, he argued, was unique among the revolutions of that day because of the "prodigious social cataclysm with which it was accompanied.
