LibriVox recording of the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Read by Jeanette Ferguson.
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a memoir and treatise on abolition written by famous orator and ex-slave, Frederick Douglass. It is generally held to be the most famous of a number of narratives written by former slaves during the same period. In factual detail, the text describes the events of his life and is considered to be one of the most influential pieces of literature to fuel the abolitionist movement of the early 19th Century in the United States.

I agree with gooch12
Listen for how Douglass frames his narrative to attract his white listeners to the cause of abolition -- he's a masterful rhetorician and propagandist.

Good, not great, recording
There was a single reader throughout, and though her voice was pleasant and clear enough, she read rather quickly and without feeling. Furthermore, she mispronounced a number of words along the way. Not enough to annoy, but enough to be noticeable.
Sound levels of the recording are good, etc. Well worth a listen.
