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.
