A new, annotated edition of an important slave narrative first published in 1922. Written by William Henry Singleton, who had been a slave on a Craven County, North Carolina plantation, this volume is a compelling account of a long and remarkable journey from slavery to freedom in the American South. Singleton recounts his years as a slave in antebellum North Carolina, his escape to Union-occupied territory during the Civil War, and his wartime service in the African Brigade, before concluding with a brief sketch of his life after 1865. | Recollections Of My Slavery Days by Katherine Mellen Charron, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
