Northup describes with stark detail his process into slavery through Washington D.C., "The voices of patriotic representatives boasting of freedom and equality, and the rattling of the poor slave's chains, almost commingled. A slave pen within the very shadow of the Capitol!"
Twelve Years a Slave is his inspirational life that was made into the 2014 Best Picture, and now this book is offered in an unabridged, affordably printed volume.
