I found this a fascinating historical read. An insight to understanding what some of the slaves went through and how they persevered. A well-written journal of Josiah's life as he made his journey as a slave to freedom.

A freed slave's story

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The Life of Josiah Henson. Formerly a Slave is precisely that. As the documentation of this shameful period in US history expands, works like this have increasing value. Read this, and face some truths still not accepted today. Written by the subject, Josiah Henson.

A Gripping Tale of Suffering and Salvation

September 19, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Josiah Henson's first hand account of his journey from slavery to freedom, both physically and spiritually. The trials and betrayal he endured as a slave almost led him to murder, but the love and comfort he found in God liberated him from hatred, bitterness and the desire for revenge.
