Book, “The Martyrs, and the Fugitive; or a Narrative of the Captivity, Sufferings and Death of an African Familty,” Daniel Fanshaw, New York, 1859. First edition, 12mo, 95pp., text ocassionally foxed, original blindstamped brown cloth, gilt-lettered on upper cover. Though fiction, and very anti-slavery fiction at that, it is based on a true story. "It is admitted that the heros of the story are extreme cases, and it was their misfortune to be such; but the author does not present their experience as an average sample of the sufferings of slave life; he simply vouches for the accuracy of the story as illustrative of the liabilities of their life"
