Synopsis
Unabridged value reproduction of Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup, including the six original images, offered here for chump change. He was born free, kidnapped into slavery, and made his way back to freedom. This is his voice.
Northup describes with stark detail his process into slavery through Washington D.C., “The voices of patriotic representatives boasting of freedom and equality, and the rattling of the poor slave’s chains, almost commingled. A slave pen within the very shadow of the Capitol!”
Twelve Years a Slave is his inspirational life that was made into the 2014 Best Picture, and now this book is offered in an unabridged, affordably printed volume.

From the Back Cover
This story of the abduction of a free Negro adult from the North and his enslavement in the South--provides a sensational element which cannot be matched in any of the dozens of narratives written by former slaves. 'Think of it: For thirty years a man, wit all man's hopes, fears and aspirations--with a wife and children to call him by the endearing names of husband and father--with a home, humble it may be, but still a home...then for twelve years a thing, a chattel personal, classed with mules and horses....Oh! it is horrible. It chills the blood to think that such are.'
About the Author
SOLOMON NORTHUP was born in 1808 and lived as a free man in Saratoga Springs, New York, with his wife and three children until his capture and enslavement in 1841. He was one of very few who were able to regain their freedom after being kidnapped and sold into slavery. After he returned to New York, he published his memoir and became an active abolitionist, lecturing throughout the Northeast about his experiences.
