MP3 Audio CD. Published as ?My Southern Home, or The South and its People? is a novel written by the seminal author and abolitionist William Wells Brown. Born into slavery in 1814, he eventually managed to escape and become a fighter for the freedoms of African Americans, as well as a critic and a playwright who would dig deep into the conscience of man and the slavery he created. William Wells Brown was born in Kentucky in 1814 to his enslaved mother Elizabeth. He successfully managed to escape in his second attempt in 1833.

The novel also sheds some light into the southern American landscape as it was… Read More

MP3 Audio CD. My Southern Home or, The South and Its People CHAPTER I. TEN miles north of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, forty years ago, on a pleasant plain, sloping off toward a murmuring stream, stood a large frame-house, two stories high; in front was a beautiful lake, and, in the rear, an, old orchard filled with apple, peach, pear, and plum trees, with boughs untrimmed, all bearing indifferent fruit. The mansion was surrounded with piazzas, covered with grape-vines, clematis, and passion flowers; the Pride of China mixed its oriental-looking foliage with the majestic magnolia, and the air was redolent with the fragrance of buds peeping out of every nook, and nodding upon you with a most unexpected welcome. The tasteful hand of art, which shows itself in the grounds of European and New-England villas, was not seen there, but the lavish beauty and harmonious disorder of nature was permitted to take its own course, and exhibited a want of taste so commonly witnessed in the… Read More
