Description
Drawing on in the past untapped sources, Young Frederick Douglass recreates with fidelity and in convincing detail the background and early life of the man who used to be to turn out to be “the gadfly of The us’s sense of right and wrong” and the undisputed spokesman for nineteenth-century black Americans.
This very talked-about biography traces the life and times of Frederick Douglass from his birth on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in 1818 until 1838, when he escaped from slavery to emerge upon the national scene. On the time of Douglass’s death in 1895, one eulogist wrote that he used to be more than likely the most efficient-known American all the way through the world since Abraham Lincoln.
