I'm not going to say that the text was engaging, but this book is important because the author illustrates the many ways human beings were treated like cattle. It's brief and concise

5.0
Very short, readable account of an enslaved man in the early 1800s. Many fascinating small details make this stand out from other slave narratives—Brown’s various occupations, his observations of casual cruelty, his unexpected encounters with one or possibly two white slaves, as well as those who helped or hindered his eventual freedom. Strongly recommend.
