He was sold away from his mother as a small child and remembered it for fifty years. Charles Ball's narrative moves from Maryland into the cotton country of the deep South, through the labour, the sales, the separations, and an escape north made on foot. One of the essential American slave narratives, exact and unsparing about the system it describes.
