Synopsis

Bond and Free: A True Tale of Slave Times is a historical book written by James H.W. Howard and published in 1886.

Howard was born into slavery in Virginia and was later sold to a plantation owner in Alabama. The book describes his life on the plantation, the harsh treatment he and other slaves endured, and their struggles for freedom. Howard also shares his personal journey towards liberation, including his escape from slavery and his eventual reunion with his family. The book provides a unique perspective on the realities of slavery and the bravery of those who fought for their freedom.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In presenting this, my first book, to the public, I crave indulgence for whatever errors it may contain. The incidents related are true, while the adventures of the fugitives, in their escape from slavery, are actual facts related by persons well known to me, some of them closely related, and for whose veracity I can safely vouch. Many of the events of this tale will recall to the minds of not a few some of their own experiences, or the experience of relatives or friends as often rehearsed to them. I have no desire to create or revive any animosity on the part of those who have survived the cruelties of slavery, but as one of that race, now struggling for a position in the Nation which once refused to recognize their manhood, I trust I shall not be harshly censured for depicting a few of the milder forms of treatment to which the negro was subjected while enslaved.
