5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant historical account, April 20, 2008
This review is from: The Trials of Anthony Burns: Freedom and Slavery in Emerson's Boston (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. This is a monumental piece of writing and extremely important for anyone interested in American history particularly relating to slavery and aboltion. it really does not get any better. Anyone in the civil rights movement , activst or attorney, should get a copy of this book. Get 10 copies and pass them around. It reads like a Dumas novel and informs like an encylopedia. A masterpiece. Thank you professor Von Frank.

Anthony Burns earns 4 stars, April 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Trials of Anthony Burns: Freedom and Slavery in Emerson's Boston (Paperback)
Looking for an exciting book that you can't put down? Anthony Burns would be a great one. A slave who has be accused for stealing and he is on trial, fighting for his life and freedom. It's a sad book because he's in jail with water once a week, food twice a day (which is raw meat, cornbread, and really just scraps of food. The end is shocking and it's a great book that I recommend reading.You will never put it down.
