Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl - Linda Brent - Bog

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl was one of the first slave narratives, and is a must-read for anyone interested in African American history.

It's an intense memoir, and an eye-opening glimpse into the way humans will abuse other humans. It's also a testament to the strength of the human spirit as she gains her freedom, living to share her story.
