Infos

The Kidnapped and the Ransomed is the personal account of an Afro-American slave, Peter Still. He was kidnaped as a child from his home in New Jersey, and dragged to serve for more than forty years in Kentucky and Alabama. Being enslaved for over four decades, Peter was freed with the help of a pair of Jewish brothers. This account is specific owing to the fact that it is the only nineteenth-century slave narrative to show the participation of the Jews in the antislavery movement.
