| 520 | |a Fifty Years in Chains: Or, the Life of an American Slave (1859) was an abridged and unauthorized reprint of the earlier Slavery in the United States (1836).

He recounts the qualities of his various masters and the ways in which his fortune depended on their temperament. As slave narrative scholar William L.
