Publisher's Summary
Twelve Years a Slave is the true story of Solomon Northup: born a free black man in New York State, and sold into slavery after being tricked in 1841.
Unable to convince anyone he is not a slave, Solomon spent 12 years in bondage, before finally being set free.
Northup’s memoir, recounting details of the slave markets and the harsh life on plantations, was used in the struggle to abolish slavery in the United States.

beautiful and upsetting
a first hand recounting it is eloquent and entertaining with insights into a period and life that i wouldn't have known before. very self gratifying the writer definitely thought pretty highly of themselves but insightful and in my opinion if it's biased in any way it would be that the writer was too kind to some of the people who played a part in his life story.
