About this audiobook

The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass was Douglass' third autobiography. In it he was able to go into greater detail about his life as a slave and his escape from slavery, as he and his family were no longer in any danger from the reception of his work. In this engrossing narrative he recounts early years of abuse; his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom, abolitionist campaigns, and his crusade for full civil rights for former slaves. It is also the only of Douglass' autobiographies to discuss his life during and after the Civil War, including his encounters with American Presidents such as Lincoln, Grant, and Garfield.

Ratings and reviews

This was the first audio book that I've ever listened to and I must say it was exceptionally well narrated. I've always admired Mr. Douglass and all that he endured throughout his life. He was so well spoken that my words don't come close to describing how great this man was. If you want a in depth knowledge of his life, then this is the audio book that you should listen to and you will discover how remarkable he was.
