Biography of a Slave: Being the Experiences of Rev. Charles Thompson, a Preacher of the United Brethren Church, While a Slave in the South. - Charles Thompson - Bog

LARGE PRINT EDITION In publishing this book, I hope to do good not only to my own race, but to all who may read it. I am not a bookmaker, and make no pretensions to literary attainments; and I have made no efforts to create for myself a place in the literary, book-making ranks. I claim for my book truthfulness and honesty of purpose, and upon that basis, it must succeed or fail. The Biography of a Slave is called for by a very large number of my immediate acquaintances, and, I am assured, will meet with such reception as to justify the expense I have incurred in having it printed and bound. To the members of the United Brethren Church, white as well as colored, I look for help in the sale and circulation of my work, yet I am satisfied I will receive commendable patronage from members of all Christian churches everywhere.
