Solomon Northup was a farmer, a professional violinist, and a landowner in New York. In 1841, on a trip to Washington D.C. he was drugged, kidnapped and sold as a slave. Shipped to New Orleans, he was held for 12 years as a slave. These four volumes tell the full story of his capture, treatment, and eventual return to his home in New York. He published this memoir of his experience in the first year of his returned freedom.
