The Story of Archer Alexander from Slavery to Freedom is a historical book written by William G. Eliot. The book tells the true story of Archer Alexander, a slave who escaped from his owner and became a symbol of freedom during the American Civil War. The story takes place on March 30, 1863, when Alexander was captured by Union soldiers and brought to the attention of President Abraham Lincoln. Alexander's bravery and determination to escape slavery inspired Lincoln to use his image in the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared all slaves in Confederate states to be free. The book includes details about Alexander's life as a slave, his escape, and his eventual freedom. It also provides insight into the political and social climate of the time, and the role that individual stories like Alexander's played in the larger fight for civil rights. Overall, The Story of Archer Alexander from Slavery to Freedom is a powerful and inspiring account of one man's journey from oppression to liberation, and the impact that his story had on the fight for freedom and equality in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
