MEN SELLING MEN,
This review is from: Adventures of an African Slaver (Hardcover)
A FAST PACED FIRST PERSON NARRATIVE OF THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN THEODORE CANOT, TRADER IN GOLD, IVORY AND SLAVES ON THE COAST OF GUINEA CIRCA 1854. CAPT. CANOT HAD QUITE A LIFE AND THE BOOK IS WRITTEN IN A MANNER THAT SEEMS TO DEFY DATING IN THAT IT IS EASY TO READ; TO GET INVOLVED IN, AND GIVES ONE MAN'S VIEW OF AN ERA THAT PLAYED A LARGE PART IN HISTORY. NOT AS ROUGH AS ONE WOULD EXPECT.

Review of "An African Slaver",
This review is from: Adventures of an African Slaver (African American) (Paperback)
I received the book in mint condition. I bought the book at a very good price, and I have found that the contents are worth many times the cost.
