A powerful, real-life story of kidnapping, endurance, and the long road to freedom.

This edition presents a personal recollection of Peter Still and his wife “Vina,” tracing four decades of slavery, family bonds, and the courageous pursuit of liberty. Through intimate scenes, it offers a firsthand look at life on plantations, the harsh realities of overseers and separation, and the resilience that fueled a move toward emancipation.

Framed by the era’s social tensions, the narrative blends memory and history to illuminate the human cost of slavery while highlighting moments of hope, ingenuity, and steadfast love. It is a focused, survivor-centered account that centers the voices of those who experienced bondage and bondage’s long shadows.

Personal origins: kidnapping as a child and the pull toward a life of freedom.

Slavery’s daily realities: work, discipline, and the dynamics of master–slave relationships.

Steps toward liberty: earning, saving, and strategic choices to secure freedom.

The ransomed family: reunions, challenges, and the continuing impact of slavery beyond the plantation.

Ideal for readers interested in slave narratives, abolition history, and the human stories at the heart of America’s past.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1856, is based on the personal accounts of Peter and Vina Still, a married couple who were slaves in the American South before the Civil War. The author, a prominent abolitionist, spent years gathering their stories, resulting in this rich and moving work. The book recounts Peter's arduous journey from a young boy kidnapped from his home in New Jersey to his eventual purchase of his own and his family's freedom. Along the way, he witnesses the horrors of a system that dehumanizes and brutalizes its victims. Yet, their story is not only one of pain and suffering; it is also a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who fought for their freedom. Through their perseverance and the generosity of a Jewish man who helps Peter buy his own freedom, they are reunited and both eventually purchase the freedom of their children. The book sheds light on the horrors of slavery and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
