Originally published in 1861, Austin Stewards memoir has long been a staple source of firsthand evidence about activism against slavery and racism by freed blacks. Long out of print, the narrative is now available with additional biographical information and a critical introduction by historian Graham Hodges. The introduction affords an indepth discussion of Stewards careerrising from enslavement to success as a selfmade businessman in upstate New York and as leader of the illfated Wilberforce Colony in Ontario, Canada. Hodges also expands upon previous recognition of Stewards sizable role in free black activism in the antebellum northern states. Replete with images from Stewards life, this new edition of his classic narrative is stocked with details about the authors relationships with antislavery activists Frederick Douglass, William Wells Brown, Nathaniel Paul, and Gerrit Smith. The book offers insight into the creation of African American community life in upstate New York and into the doomed black utopia of Wilberforce.
