  • The Black Man: His Antecedents, His Genius, and His Achievements

    William W. Brown

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Feb. 12, 2016)
    This is a history of African Americans in America written by a former slave during the 19th century. From the preface: " THE calumniators and traducers of the Negro are to be found, mainly, among two classes. The first and most relentless are those who have done them the greatest injury, by being instrumental in their enslavement and consequent degradation. They delight to descant upon the "natural inferiority" of the blacks, and claim that we were destined only for a servile condition, entitled neither to liberty nor the legitimate pursuit of happiness. The second class are those who are ignorant of the characteristics of the race, and are the mere echoes of the first. To meet and refute these misrepresentations, and to supply a deficiency, long felt in the community, of a work containing sketches of individuals who, by their own genius, capacity, and intellectual development, have surmounted the many obstacles which slavery and prejudice have thrown in their way, and raised themselves to positions of honor and influence, this volume was written. The characters represented in most of these biographies are for the first time put in print. The author's long sojourn in Europe, his opportunity of research amid the archives of England and France, and his visit to the West Indies, have given him the advantage of information respecting the blacks seldom acquired. If this work shall aid in vindicating the Negro's character, and show that he is endowed with those intellectual and amiable qualities which adorn and dignify human nature, it will meet the most sanguine hopes of the writer."
  • The Heroine of the White Nile; Or What a Woman Did and Dared: A Sketch of the Remarkable Travels and Experiences of Miss. Alexandrine TinnĂ©

    William Wells

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Feb. 10, 2017)
    Excerpt from The Heroine of the White Nile; Or What a Woman Did and Dared: A Sketch of the Remarkable Travels and Experiences of Miss. Alexandrine TinnéThis little work has been written with a view of supplying the now loudly expressed demand for a literature for our Sunday-schools that will be both instructive and entertaining. Its truth is more thrilling than fiction, and its simple story stranger than romance. It is written mainly for our older Sunday-school children; but its pages may contain information and lessons that will not be without interest to any who may be inclined to know more of Africa, and of the strange career of a lady whose life was sacrificed to her intense desire to penetrate its wilds and its deserts, and be a herald of mercy to its persecuted and benighted people.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
