Publisher's Synopsis
"A Slave and As a Freeman" is the compelling autobiography of Rev. J.W. Loguen, a formerly enslaved man who became a prominent abolitionist. This powerful narrative recounts Loguen's early life in slavery, his daring escape to freedom, and his subsequent work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad.
Loguen's vivid descriptions offer a firsthand account of the brutalities of slavery and the resilience of those who fought against it. More than just a personal story, it stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who sought liberty and justice. "A Slave and As a Freeman" remains an important historical document and a moving story of courage and determination, resonating with readers interested in African American history, the abolitionist movement, and the enduring quest for human rights.
