Up against the worst evil of any lifetime, Samuel shares how he withstood, and how he trusted God and eventually became a free man. He tried to escape, was nearly murdered, and most importantly for us, he observed the truth of slavery. He shows us the true evil that we have somehow failed to face.From the deep South, in Iredell County, North Carolina to the Memphis slave markets (where he was sold twice), through the great Civil War, and finally to Washington, Iowa, a free life, and public schools for his children, Samuel Hall witnessed it all. He traces his parents from Liberia, and his brothers and sisters and children and where they were sold. Most of them he never saw again after a sale. Some were freed early, and some, like Samuel and his family, endured until the bitter end. But here, over 100 years from the telling, we get a unique view into the world, that, thank God, no longer exists in the United States. But we need to know. We need to understand WHY slavery is so evil. Read this little old book, and you will understand deeply.
