Even a name by which to be known among men, slavery had denied me.

A standout among slave testimonies, the Narrative of William W. Brown provides a revealing account of life as a slave in mid-19th century Missouri. Written with harrowing clarity and heart-breaking honesty, it is a striking account of the struggle to survive under slavery and the terrifying risks run by slaves trying to escape its grasp in antebellum America.
