Author Description

Excerpt from The Narrative of Lunsford Lane: Formerly of Raleigh, N. C The following Narrative has been prepared at the soli citation of very many friends. Whatever my own judg ment might be, I should yield to theirs. In the hope that these pages may produce an impression favorable to my countrymen in bondage; also that I may realize some thing from the sale of my work towards the support of a numerous family, I have committed this publication to press. It might have been made two or three, or even six times larger, without diminishing from the interest of any one of its pages - indeed with an increased interest - but the want of the pecuniary means, and other considerations, have induced me to present it as here seen.
