Illustrated by 2 engraved portrait frontispieces. Updated and expanded edition (first published 1849) of the Autobiography of the abolitionist, Rev. Josiah Henson (1789-1883).

Following the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-96) in 1852, it was claimed that Henson was the real life original of the character of Uncle Tom, but this is disputed, as Stowe used a number of slave lives as a source.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good dj. 2nd printing. [a good sound copy, moderately shelfworn with some exposure of boards at lower corners and along top edge of rear cover; the jacket has some paper loss at both ends of the spine, extending a bit into the top of the rear panel, otherwise just lightly edgeworn]. Includes a typed and SIGNED note from the author, affixed to the front endpaper. An early work by this Slovenian-American author, who went on to write numerous books, many of which celebrated the ethnic diversity of his adopted country. Jacket-blurbed as "perhaps for the first time an unsweetened picture of what the immigrant in this country has to cope with," the book reflects Adamic's vision of America as "a great and fascinating jungle of chaotic economic, social, intellectual, and spiritual forces which drive people to various forms of success and destroy most of them in the process," but in which he also finds "much that is essentially amusing or ridiculous." (An assessment that seems just as valid today as it was in 1932.) In the typed note, written to noted Civil War historian Arnold F. Gates, Adamic says he will try to read a "long script" that Gates had apparently given him, "but can't promise [because] I'm *inhumanly* busy." (Gates's ownership signature is on the front pastedown.) NOTE that the book itself is not signed by Adamic. ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
