Series Title: Greenwood Biographies
Description: Frederick Douglass: A Biography explores the life of the most famous black abolitionist and intellectual of the 19th century. The book covers the major developments of Douglass' life from his birth in 1818 through his time as a slave and his rise to prominence as the most famous black voice for freedom of his time.

The biography discusses Douglass's relationships with such figures as John Brown; the feminist Elizabeth Caddy Stanton; and five presidents of the United States, including Abraham Lincoln. It analyzes his role in national politics before, during, and after the Civil War and examines the way his life is tied to significant local, regional, and national events. By focusing on the importance of spirituality in Douglass' life, this revealing work adds to our understanding of the man, the way he saw himself, and the many things he accomplished.
 Title Features:
 Original documents include recent sources about Douglass's activities in Pennsylvania and in Europe
 Photographs of Douglass, his family, and other important figures in his life
