About this ebook
Born into slavery in Maryland, Frederick Douglass escaped to freedom in 1838. The publication of his autobiographical Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave in 1845 informed readers of the horrors he endured in servitude and became a leading document of the abolitionist cause. This volume includes, in addition to his famous narrative, fourteen selected addresses and orations, including “My Escape from Slavery,” “Letter to His Old Master,” and the famous “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July.”
This special edition features an elegantly designed cover and a durable flexible binding. It is an indispensable addition to any home history library.
Frederick Douglass
Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey (Frederick Douglass) was born a slave in Talbot County, Maryland. He took the name Douglass after escaping from the South in 1838. As a leader in the abolitionist movement, Douglass was famed for his eloquent yet incisive political writing. And, like his near-contemporary, Booker T. Washington, understood the central importance of education in improving the lives of African Americans, and was therefore an early proponent of desegregation. A firm believer in equal rights for all, Douglass attended a meeting of the National Council of Women in Washington, D.C., in the hours before his death in February 1895.
