About This Item
E-333: Park Publishing Company. Good+. 1882. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Park Publishing Co. , Hartford, CT. 1881. 618 pgs. Illustrated. First Edition/First Printing. Bound in red cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have shelf-wear present to the extremities (front board is stained and worn, rear board is scuffed and worn). No ownership marks present. Offsetting present to some pages. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Life and Times of Frederick Douglass is Frederick Douglass' third autobiography, published in 1881, revised in 1892. Because of the emancipation of American slaves during and following the American Civil War, Douglass gave more details about his life as a slave and his escape from slavery in this volume than he could in his previous two autobiographies (which would have put him and his family in danger). It is the only one of Douglass' autobiographies to discuss his life during and after the Civil War, including his encounters with American presidents such as Lincoln and Garfield, his account of the ill-fated 'Freedman's Bank', and his service as the United Sates Marshall of the District of Columbia. EB; Notable American Authors; 6 X 1.75 X 9 inches; 618 pages .
