About
1841: Solomon Northup is a successful violinist when he is kidnapped and sold into slavery. Taken from his family in New York State and forced to work on the cotton plantations in the Deep South, he spends the next twelve years in captivity until his eventual escape.
First published in 1853, this extraordinary true story proved to be a powerful voice in the debate over slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War. It is a testament to one man's courage and conviction in the face of unfathomable injustice and brutality: its influence on the course of American history cannot be overstated.
