It is rare to find a well written book by an ex slave for the simple reason that they were forbidden to learn to read. Frederick Douglas is the shining exception. A highly gifted man he was noted both for his skill with the pen and his lectures throughout the North. His life story as written by himself will chill you to the bone.
