Free Men in an Age of Servitude: Three Generations of a Black Family
Description:
Explores the hardships of free Blacks in the 18th- and 19th-century US. A slave-born professional soldier, his entrepreneur son, and his legislator grandson, bought into the western middle-class equation that hard work and personal rectitude would bring success and respect. It didn't for them. Also demonstrates a methodology of investigating people who left no personal papers. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
