A propos de cet article

First revised edition, with a revised text and a new title, originally published in 1884 as 'The Rape of Florida,' with a slightly different text. Small octavo. 97pp. Frontispiece woodcut portrait of the author, signed by his friend. Dr. Herzog a St Louis physician affiliated with Washington University in St Louis school of medicine. this is most astonishing slave narrative sagas of all time and among the rarest. This is superb very fine copy of a book but itself very rare. Search for it in Blockson or Schomberg collections.Original rich embossed deep brown cloth. Whitman born into Slavery in 1851 died 1901. As a free man, Whitman studied and worked at Wilberforce University and became an African Methodist Episcopal pastor; his poetry helped to fund Wilberforce's endowment. The romantic epic Twasinta's Seminoles recounts the dispossession of the Floridian Seminole tribe, formed in the 18th century by Creek refugees and runaway slaves. They fiercely resisted the United States government's attempt to relocate them to Oklahoma after the passage of the 1830 Indian Removal Act. 30 years and two wars later, 300 or so Seminole remained in Florida, Told in the grand manner of Edmund Spenser, in a long Poem in stanzas this saga of Florida. So this Slave narrative has all the bells and whistles, a saga of Florida, a tale of the Native Seminoles and a saga of a freed slave joining into the dream of a free America. Wonderful poetry, and much drama with marvelous ideals.…
