Product Description:
Born into a family of slaves, Frederick Douglass educated himself through sheer determination. His unconquered will to triumph over his circumstances makes his one of America’s best and most unlikely success stories. Douglass’ own account of his journey from slave to one of America’s great statesmen, writers, and orators is as fascinating as it is inspiring.
This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition includes a glossary and reader’s notes to help the modern reader contend with Douglass’ nineteenth-century style and vocabulary.

Rating: - Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
The book was kind of short, and it was very easy to read and understand. Also, it had explanations for diffecult words on each chapters in the back of the book. Overall, pretty well- written book!
Rating:  - cheap but missing parts
the book was cheap but missing the appendix,this is an essential part of the book, without it your missing a third of the history. I'm surprised it was published without this essential part.
