Thank you for the welcome.  The book is the autobiography of Frederick Douglass.  In my library it is called "The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass" but this site calls it "The Narrative of Frederick Douglass"  The chapter is called "Learning to Read"  Also, Thank you for not correcting a BLATANT fucking error.  Continue to make wikipedia a useless resource due to it's errors.  Welcome to real world knowledge, wikipedia is a useless piece of shit due to people like you.
