LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Hi! I've been having trouble with my e-mail lately, but awhile back someone
was looking for slavery books similar to Frederick Douglass. If this has
already been answered or I just imagined seeing the message as I can't find
it on my e-mail...Sorry! Several interesting titles anyway to pass along.
Letters from a Salve Girl: The Story of Harriet Jacobs by Mary E. Lyons. It
is historical fiction, but based on HJ's 1861 autobiography. The end also
includes some bio facts about HJ.
Harriet Jacob's autobiography is called Incidents in the Life of a Slave
Girl. Found it on Amazon and there are several different copies from
diffeernt publishers and editors. One may even be her son John Jacob, not
sure as all the write-ups in amazon were the same. I haven't read this one,
but looking forward to reading it.
I also enjoyed To Be a Slave by Julius Lester. I purchased this a couple of
years ago when we were vacationing in Atlantic Beach, NC and went to tour
and old fort. Great visit!
My final book is Jip, His Story by Katherine Paterson. This historical
fiction tale takes place in VT during 19th century with the struggle between
slave owners and abolitionist. Donna
