Anthony Burns: A History is a book written by Charles Emery Stevens that provides a comprehensive account of the life and struggles of Anthony Burns, a slave who escaped from Virginia to Boston in the mid-19th century. The book explores the political and social climate of the time, including the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and the tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War. Through extensive research, Stevens tells the story of Burns' arrest and subsequent trial, which became a national controversy and sparked protests and riots in Boston. The book also delves into Burns' personal life and the impact his experiences had on the abolitionist movement. Overall, Anthony Burns: A History offers a detailed and engaging portrait of one man's fight for freedom in a tumultuous period of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
