First published in 1853, Solomon Northup's memoir tells how he, a free Black man and musician from Saratoga Springs, New York, was lured to Washington in 1841, kidnapped and sold into slavery. He spent twelve years on Louisiana plantations before he was able to win his freedom. A powerful testimony, and the basis for the Oscar-winning film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this leather-bound edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine.
