    Her story, as written by herself, cannot fail to interest the
    reader. It is a sad illustration of the condition of this
    country, which boasts of its civilization, while it sanctions
    laws and customs which make the experiences of the present more
    strange than any fictions of the past.

Amy Post. Rochester, N.Y., Oct. 30th, 1859.

The following testimonial is from a man who is now a highly respectable colored citizen of Boston.

L.M.C.

    This narrative contains some incidents so extraordinary, that,
    doubtless, many persons, under whose eyes it may chance to fall,
    will be ready to believe that it is colored highly, to serve a
    special purpose. But, however it may be regarded by the
    incredulous, I know that it is full of living truths. I have been
    well acquainted with the author from my boyhood. The
    circumstances recounted in her history are perfectly familiar to
    me. I knew of her treatment from her master; of the imprisonment
    of her children; of their sale and redemption; of her seven
    years' concealment; and of her subsequent escape to the North. I
    am now a resident of Boston, and am a living witness to the truth
    of this interesting narrative.
