The slave narrative is a literary genre involving the autobiographical accounts of enslaved Africans. A slave narrative gives an account of the life, or a portion of the life, of a fugitive or former slave. It could be written or orally related by the slave personally. More than 6,000 such narratives are estimated to exist; the overwhelming majority of American slave narratives were authored by African Americans.

Life in the 1800's is also described in detail, so I learned quite a bit about methods for collecting salt and fish.
"The entire ... the entire affair." This sort of repetition happens frequently in the affair, obviously intended to be edited out, but that audio editing was not done. However, the narrators did such a good job on such great stories that I can overlook it. I kept giving up on other books with duller stories to come back to this collection. I already plan to listen to it again. Still, an an audio editing pass would improve this.
Highly recommended. From my large Audible library, this is easily in the top ten. I would also recommend U S Grant's autobiography from the same time frame.
Many, many incredible stories.
