OverviewBorn on a Maryland plantation, Frederick Douglass—born Frederick Bailey—doesn’t know the year of his birth. Separated from his mother in infancy, he sees her only a few times, always at night, before she dies. At the age of seven or eight, Frederick’s mistress begins teaching him to read, until her furious husband forbids it. Frederick realizes then that reading is his path to freedom, and he determines to run away to the northern United States—whatever the cost. In addition to the original text, this volume also includes 11 selected essays and speeches, among them the famous “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” (1852) Full Product DetailsAuthor: Frederick Douglass , Gregory Stephens (University of California, San Diego) , Peter J GomesPublisher: Perfection Learning Imprint: Perfection Learning Dimensions: Width: 11.00cm , Height: 1.60cm , Length: 17.20cm Weight: 0.132kg ISBN: 9780756967109ISBN 10: 0756967104 Pages: 144 Publication Date: 07 June 2005 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock  The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
