The Roving Editor: Or Talks with Slaves in the Southern States, by James Redpath
ISBN: 9780271026022 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) While a reporter at Horace Greeley's New York Tribune, James Redpath developed a strong curiosity about slavery and decided that he would travel south "to see slavery with my own eyes." Redpath interviewed slaves, recorded their opinions, and collected these letters into book form, publishing them in 1859 as The Roving Editor. While some historians over the years have utilized Redpath's book, many have treated it as merely another travel account of the antebellum South, dismissing the interviews as the fabrication of a radical abolitionist. John R. McKivigan has... While a reporter at Horace Greeley's New York Tribune, James Redpath developed a strong curiosity about slavery and decided that he would ... |
