About This Item
The Story of Mattie Jackson is a powerful and enduring piece of writing, one of the many untold stories of slavery it touches the human soul. Describing the strength and spirit of a slave woman as she carries on after the separation from siblings and loved ones. It echoes a sense of sadness and joy, sadness regarding her years as a slave, but joy from her determination to escape slavery and complete her education. We are enormously fortunate that she wrote of her experiences, so that later generations could read and empathize with her experience. Mattie Jackson, and her family escaped slavery in Saint Louis, Missouri during the Civil War. Later Mattie and her brother moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts to be with her step father. This is that story.
