The Narrative of Thirty-Four Years Slavery and Travels in Africa is a memoir written by Pierre Joseph Dumont in 1819. The book details Dumont's experiences as a slave in Africa for over three decades, and his eventual escape and travels throughout the continent.Dumont was born in Senegal in the late 18th century and was captured by slave traders at a young age. He was sold to various owners throughout his life, experiencing the harsh realities of slavery firsthand. He eventually escaped and traveled throughout West Africa, encountering various cultures and peoples along the way.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part detailing Dumont's experiences as a slave and the second part describing his travels throughout Africa. Dumont's narrative provides a unique perspective on the African slave trade and the cultures and societies of West Africa during the early 19th century.Overall, the Narrative of Thirty-Four Years Slavery and Travels in Africa is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of African slaves and the complexities of African societies during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
