ISBN10: 1420978152, ISBN13: 9781420978155, [publisher: Digireads.Com] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Born in to slavery in 1815 or 1816 on a plantation in Louisa County, Virginia, Henry Brown would work as a slave in Richmond until his daring escape in 1849. In August 1848 Henry Brown's wife and three children were sold to a new master and relocated to North Carolina. Deeply affected by this loss, Brown decided to take the risk of escaping from his bondage. In one of the more creative examples of the escaped slave narrative, Brown, with the help of James C. A. Smith, a free black dentist, and Samuel A. Smith, a white shoemaker, fitted himself in a wooden box and shipped himself on the Adams Express, a railroad package service. After a twenty-six hour journey by wagon, steamboat, rail, and ferry, Brown finally emerged from his box at the Philadelphia office of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. Following his emancipation, Henry Brown would become an active participant in the abolitionist movement. First published in 1851, the 'Narrative of the Life of Henry Box Brown' relates Brown's life from childhood until his escape. Although not particularly important in the advancement of the abolitionist movement, this work was a commercial success upon its original publication, and remains an important part of the canon of American slave narratives. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper. 48 pp. ...

ISBN10: 0195148541, ISBN13: 9780195148541, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Softcover Paperback. In 1849, Henry Brown escaped from slavery by shipping himself in a three-foot-by-two-foot wooden crate from Virginia to an anti-slavery office in Philadelphia. Twenty-seven hours and 350 miles later, Brown stepped out of his box to begin a new life. This is his memoir, originally published in 1851 in England, as fresh and compelling today as it was 150 years ago. This extraordinary narrative paints an indelible portrait of life in slavery. With a keen sense ofirony, Brown examines the "peculiar institution"--from the hypocrisy of slave-owning Christian preachers, to the system of bribery that forced slaves to purchase the rights to their own belongings, to thepractice of separating slave families with no warning. The story also describes one of the most audacious, creative escapes ever completed. A classic slave narrative, it makes for unforgettable reading. Richard Newman provides a 25-page introduction to a revised autobiography of Henry Box Brown, a fugitive slave who in 1849 devised his own escape to freedom by shipping himself in a wooden crate from Virginia to an anti-slavery office in Philadelphia. This edition includes a total of six illustrations. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

ISBN10: 1387558781, ISBN13: 9781387558780, [publisher: Lulu.Com] Hardcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - On 29th March 1849, Henry Brown got into a box that was 3 feet long by 2 feet 8 inches deep by 2 feet wide and was posted to Philadelphia. After 27 hours he emerged, not as a slave, but as a free man. Narrative of the Life of Henry Box Brown is one of the most remarkable escapes from slavery ever recorded. Brown recounts, with detail, his life as a slave and the tragic circumstances which led him to make his daring escape. His short but powerful narrative provides brilliant insight into the life of an African American slave in the South in the 1850s. Brown also explains his own view of how the evils of slavery could be stopped without recourse to conflict and bloodshed.
