by Henry Box Brown (Author)

Narrative Of The Life Of Henry Box Brown is a memoir written by Henry Box Brown, an enslaved African American who escaped to freedom by mailing himself in a wooden crate from Virginia to Philadelphia in 1849. The book was published in 1851 and details Brown's life as a slave, his escape, and his experiences as a free man in the North. Brown's narrative provides a firsthand account of the brutality and dehumanization of slavery. He describes the physical and emotional abuse he endured, the separation of families, and the constant fear of punishment and sale. Brown's escape is a daring and dangerous feat, and he vividly recounts the challenges he faced during his journey in the crate, including being upside down and nearly suffocating. After arriving in Philadelphia, Brown becomes a public figure and shares his story with abolitionist audiences across the country. He also meets other prominent abolitionists, including Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison. Brown's narrative is an important document of the abolitionist movement and sheds light on the experiences of enslaved people and the struggle for freedom during the antebellum period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
