Description
This volume contains a fascinating and realistic account of the life of slaves and slave-owners in the early 19th century, which the author describes as "one long waste, barren desert, of cheerless, hopeless, lifeless slavery; to be varied only by the pangs of hunger, and the stings of the lash."
