He shall go out free : the lives of Denmark Vesey
Douglas R. Egerton (Author)
The author used "church records, court documents, travel accounts, and newspapers from America and Saint Domingue to recreate the lost world of the mysterious Vesey," "a free black [who] was hanged in Charleston, S.C., for his leadership role in one of the largest slave uprisings ever planned in the United States."--Jacket
