About this title

Synopsis

A compilation of correspondence and ship's logs written between 1808 and 1817 by a black Quaker, telling the story of his efforts to undercut the slave trade by forming a trading cooperative in Sierra Leone. An introduction discusses the obstacles Cuffe faced, the network of African-American organization that provided help, and the deep concern for education within the black community. Of interest to scholars and students of history. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
