Frederick Douglass is a biography written by Charles W. Chesnutt about the life of Frederick Douglass, a prominent African American abolitionist, writer, and orator. The book covers Douglass's early life as a slave in Maryland, his escape to freedom, and his subsequent career as a leading voice in the abolitionist movement. Chesnutt's biography explores Douglass's personal struggles and achievements, as well as his impact on American history and culture. The book is a detailed and insightful account of one of the most important figures in the fight against slavery and for civil rights in the United States.IN 1841 Douglass entered upon that epoch of his life which brought the hitherto obscure refugee prominently before the public, and in which his services as anti-slavery orator and reformer constitute his chief claim to enduring recollection. Millions of negroes whose lives had been far less bright than Douglass's had lived and died in slavery. Thousands of fugitives under assumed names were winning a precarious livelihood in the free States and trembling in constant fear of the slave-catcher.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
