The Narrative of Sojourner Truth is the gripping autobiographical
account of Sojourner Truth's life as a slave in pre-Civil War New York
State, and her eventual escape to Freedom. Since Sojourner could
neither read or write, she dictated her story to Olive Gilbert after
they met at a Women's Rights rally. The Narrative was first
published in 1850, and was widely distributed by the Abolitionist
Movement. It was one of the catalysts for the rise of anti-slavery
public opinion in the years leading up to the Civil War. Though Olive
Gilbert's writing about Sojourner takes on a patronizing tone at
times (a weakness of some Abolitionists), The Narrative of Sojourner
Truth remains a moving and historic document, chronicling the
struggles of African-Americans under slavery and the life of a truly
remarkable woman. (Introduction by Marc Kockinos)
