This memoir written by writer, orator, and former slave Frederick Douglass describes, in gripping detail, the circumstances of his upbringing, his brutal treatment at the hands of slave-owners, and his narrow escape from Maryland to freedom. Written in 1845, this narrative is one of the most famous works of American literature and provided fuel for the abolitionist movement that began in the early 19th century.

This autobiography there’s a significant part of American history. It is a document of an eyewitness of his experience of slavery during his own lifetime. To come back to ignorance of slavery his narrative should be taught in schools across the United States as curriculums. Education is the only way to combat racial ignorance

United States of America, hear me now

There is nothing I can say that will measure up to the story itself. One of the most blazoned, unapologetically truthful accounts of slavery told with introspection and intellect. Superbly written and beautifully narrated - a must read for everyone who is of sound mind.

Simply Enthralling

Middle- and high schools throughout the nation should teach this book. And for adults like me who didn't know Douglass wrote an autobiography, this is a vivid, eye-opening testimony of the perverse, inhumane institution of American slavery. Narrator Bill Andrew Quinn gives a spot-on performance of this book, perfect for the 19th century writing style. If you don't know this bit of history about the childhood slavery of one of America's most famous abolitionists, you should listen to this.

Astounding history, riveting performance
