Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by the author chronicles their experience as part of the U.S. Navy sent to the African coast in the mid-1800s to combat the slave trade. While the main focus of the book is life aboard the ship and the experiences of an American abroad during this time period, it also delves into such topics as the history of slavery in this region, the role of the United States in anti-slavery initiatives, the viability of Liberia as a colony for freed slaves, and exposes the reader to African culture and traditions. The author skillfully weaves together unbiased observation, humor, and personal reflection to present a compelling and rich narrative. The book is an illuminating read both for those with interest in maritime adventures and the history of slavery, and provides a vivid and intimate look into a little-known chapter of 19th-century American history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
