Summary: "I was here in slavery times. I was here."
Comment: This small collection of slaves memories and stories offers a vivid, heartfelt look into the often horrific lives these people once led. The pain and suffering, the sacrifices and dedication of this amazing race make for an equally amazing book that opens the soul and teaches, without preaching or purpose, to love and respect every race. A perfect collection of facts and stories.
Rating: 3
Summary: Sobering, simple collection of accounts by former slaves
Comment: The purpose of this book was to document the lives of former slaves, grouping together areas of similar experiences. The full gamut of the horrors of American slavery are described, whether it was being beaten, raped, or having your family split apart for different masters to take away. The living conditions and variety in their treatment also are discussed, making this book, while simple enough to be read by middle schoolers, powerful enough to be read by anyone seeking a true account of slavery prior to the Civil War.
Rating: 5
Summary: Powerful!
Comment: I had to read this book for a college class, and I was really moved by it. It's such a powerful read. This book will give the reader a first hand experience of what it was like to be a slave. What makes this book so good is that it's the words of the slave. It's their stories and their words. The reader will learn how they were beaten and how their families were split up...sometimes for life. If you have a interest in reading about slavery, then you must add this to your collection.
