Aprašymas
"Rambles of a Runaway from SouthernSlavery" tells of an extraordinary life in and out of slavery inthe United States and Canada. Born Elijah Turner in the Virginia Tidewater, circa1810, the author eventually procured freedom papers from a man he resembled and tookthe man's name, Henry Goings. His life story takes us on an epic journey, from hisVirginia birthplace through the cotton kingdom of the lower South, and on his escapefrom slavery through Tennessee and Kentucky on to the Great Lakes region of theNorth and to Canada. His "Rambles" show that slaveswere found not merely in fields but on the nation's roads and rivers, too, perpetually in motion in massive coffles or as solitary runaways.
Afreedom narrative as well as a slave narrative, this compact yet detailed bookillustrates many important developments in antebellum America, such as thelarge-scale forced migration of enslaved people from long-established slavesocieties in the eastern United States to new settlements on the cotton frontier, the political-economic processes that framed that migration, and the accompanyinghuman anguish. Goings's life and reflections serve as important primary documents ofAfrican American life and of American national expansion, the Civil War, andReconstruction. This edition also features an informative and insightfulintroduction by Calvin Schermerhorn.
