Twelve Years a Slave
Solomon Northup
This is the harrowing memoir of Solomon Northup, a free-born African American man from New York who, in 1841, was lured to Washington, D.C., drugged, kidnapped, and sold into slavery. He spent the next twelve years in bondage on a Louisiana cotton plantation, enduring extreme cruelty and witnessing the brutal realities of the peculiar institution. After finally regaining his freedom in 1853, Northup published this account, providing an exceptionally detailed, vivid, and eloquent portrait of slave life from the perspective of a man who had experienced both freedom and total submission.
