With his wife and sister-in-law he collected the personal accounts and newspaper articles detailing the atrocities and cruelties of slavery presented here. Binding is firm. Black and white cloth boards show moderate wear. Edge of text block with black marking. A few pages of text have underlining and annotations but the book remains very readable. No dust jacket.
