Publisher's Synopsis
NOTE TO THE READER: PLEASE NOTE VERSION REPRESENTS THE LARGE PRINT EDITION OF "Life and Narrative of William J. Anderson, Twenty-four Years a Slave..."By William J. Anderson. "After praying to God and asking His blessing to rest upon me and my book, I enter into the task, because I have the blacks and some of the whites to contend with. The blacks I know will be prejudiced against me because I cease to labor as they do, as a general thing--and some few of the prejudiced whites think that all colored men ought to work with the plough and the hoe. But as I know all kinds of wicked lies will be raised by my own race, I have engaged the arm of Almighty God to help me. The truth is, very few ever have been through what I have."
