Description
Twelve Years a Slave is a harrowing memoir by Solomon Northup, recounting his experiences as a free African American living in Saratoga, New York. In 1843, he was tricked into slavery after being approached by two circus promoters with an offer of a high-paying job. Northup's story takes him to Washington, D.C., where he is sold into bondage and subjected to the harsh realities of life as a slave in the Southern United States just prior to the American Civil War. The book chronicles his twelve years of captivity, during which he faced both kindness and cruelty from those around him. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, allowing readers to experience Northup's powerful account of slavery and survival.
