Rating: 3 out of 5

These books are all about the same.  Many were produced in the early years of the 1900's, and paint a picture of lives as slaves.  They were recorded before the people who actually lived this life passed away.  So they are snapshots of an historical way of life, which was varied, as there were "good" masters, and "bad" masters.  The level of education of various slaves is apparent.  Some were quite illiterate, and simple, while some were relatively sophisticated, depending on what the masters encouraged.
