A work of astonishing ingenuity, intellectual and emotional depth, and (most of all) brilliant writing.John Demos, author of The Unredeemed Captive In the tradition of Laurel Thatcher Ulrichs classic, A Midwifes Tale, comes this groundbreaking narrative by one of Americas most promising colonial historians. Joshua Hempstead was a wellrespected farmer and tradesman in New London, Connecticut. As his remarkable diarykept from 1711 until 1758reveals, he was also a slave owner who owned Adam Jackson for over thirty years. In this engrossing narrative of family life and the slave experience in the colonial North, Allegra di Bonaventura describes the complexity of this master/slave relationship and traces the intertwining stories of two families until the eve of the Revolution. Slavery is often left out of our collective memory of New Englands history, but it was hugely impactful on the central unit of colonial life: the family. In every corner, the lines between slavery and freedom were blurred as families across the social spectrum fought to survive. In this enlightening study, a new portrait of an era emerges. 16 pages of illustrations; 2 maps
