Reviews

In his day, Brown rivaled Frederick Douglass as a prominent black abolitionist and exceeded him as an author of important histories and biographies of African Americans. Ezra Greenspan s definitive biography rescues Brown from undeserved obscurity. --James M. McPherson, Princeton University


Though often sidelined in mainstream histories of the abolitionist movement (to say nothing of American history more generally), Brown has been returned to his proper place with Greenspan's judicious and carefully annotated collection. -- Louisiana History


A fascinating read and an excellent piece of historical detective work. --Annette Gordon Reed, Harvard University
