Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Six Years in a Georgia Prison: Narrative of Lewis W. Paine, Who Suffered Imprisonment Six Years in Georgia, for the Crime of Aiding the Escape of a Fellow-Man From That State, After He Had Fled From Slavery I was born in the town of Smithfield, Providence County, Rhode Island, on the 11th day of January, 1819. On my father´s side I am the fifth generation from one of three brothers, who came from England, and settled, I think, in the town where I was born. Nothing unusual occurred until the epoch which it is the purpose of this narrative to relate; though I now think I was unconsciously receiving the discipline which was to strengthen and prepare me for the great ordeal. Having reached the proper age, I was kept at school most of the time, until I was ten years old. Being blessed with a retentive memory, I soon learned to read and spell with ease. I was generally found at the head of my spelling class, and was always pronounced a good reader; but, notwithstanding this, I was seldom successful in bearing off the prize.
