Excerpt from Free at LastN presenting this book to the public, no apology is Offered for selecting, as my themes, subjects that have been used over and over again. The slave problem is settled, but the drink is still an unsolved question before the American people.My interest in the colored people dates from early childhood, at the family altar, where the Father Of Mercies was daily asked, That the yoke might be broken, and the oppressed go free.In the National Era I read to my father the stirring speeches Of Congressmen, and I heard the subject Of slavery discussed in the pulpit and on the platform. At the Open ing Of the war I saw the gathering forces on the border land, heard the cry, TO arms, visited the sick in the hospital made shirtsand scraped lint for the wounded. I rejoice that my father's family would not accept of slaves left them, but set them free.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
