Frederick Douglass

xiii, 465 pp. Includes several pages of black-and-white photographs and a map of Maryland's eastern shore. "As orator, writer, and abolitionist leader, Frederick Douglass was one of the most powerful voices for freedom in the U.S. His autobiographies have shaped our view of slavery. Now, in a majestic new biography, McFeely goes behind Douglass' skillfully created public image to bring readers for the first time a full portrait of this commanding figure."
