Twenty-Eight Years A Slave: Or The Story Of My Life In Three Continents (1909) is an autobiographical account by Thomas L. Johnson, a former slave who was born in Virginia in 1836 and sold into slavery at the age of six. The book chronicles his life as a slave in various parts of the United States, including Virginia, North Carolina, and Alabama, and his eventual escape to freedom in Canada. Johnson's story also covers his travels as a free man to Europe and Africa, where he worked as a sailor and a missionary. Throughout the book, Johnson reflects on the injustices of slavery and the challenges he faced as a black man in a world dominated by white supremacy. Published in 1909, Twenty-Eight Years A Slave provides a firsthand account of the brutal realities of slavery and the resilience of those who fought against it. Johnson's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of freedom and the ongoing struggle for equality.Twenty-Eight Years A Slave In Virginia, Afterwards, At Forty Years Of Age, A Student In Spurgeon�������s College, Missionary In Africa, Evangelist In England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
