Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Narrative of the Sufferings of Lewis Clarke: During a Captivity of More Than Twenty-Five Years, Among the Algerines of Kentucky, One of the So Called Christian State of North America I first became acquainted with Lewis Clarke in December, 1842. I well remember the deep impression made upon my mind on hearing his Narrative from his own lips. It gave me a new and more vivid impression of the wrongs of Slavery than I had ever before felt. Evidently a person of good native talents and of deep sensibilities, such a mind had been under the dark cloud of slavery for more than twenty-five years. Letters, reading, all the modes of thought awakened by them, had been utterly hid from his eyes; and yet his mind had evidently been active, and trains of thought were flowing through it which he was utterly unable to express. I well remember, too, the wave on wave of deep feeling excited in an audience of more than a thousand persons, at Hallo well, Me., as they listened to his story, and looked upon his energetic and manly countenance, and wondered if the dark cloud of slavery could cover up - hide from the world, and degrade to the condition of brutes - such immortal minds., His story, there and wherever since told, has aroused the most utter abhorrence of the Slave System. For the last two years, I have had the most ample opportunity of becoming acquainted with Mr. Clarke. He has made this place his home, when not engaged in giving to public audiences the story of his sufferings and the sufferings of his fellow-slaves.
