About this ebook
Solomon Northup tells the story of his life, the thrilling story of a free colored man, kidnapped in Washington in 1841, sold into slavery, and, after a twelve years' bondage, reclaimed by State Authority from a cotton plantation in Louisiana. The narrative of Mr. Northup's strange misfortunes, resulting in a twelve years' servitude, is of thrilling interest, not only with regard to the upcoming movie. The description of scenes and sufferings may well entitle it to be called a key and companion book to Mrs. Stowe's " Uncle Tom's Cabin."

Watched the movie, but did not realized it was based off a true story. I wish I had read the book first, then watched the movie.

It is well written but a little slow moving. Can't wait to see the movie!

A testament to both the inhumanity of man and the enduring nature of the human spirit when bathed in the soft light of hope
