Additional Details

first edition. A book about the peculiar institution, published in perfect timing with the 1864 Presidential campaign. Clearly a pro-Lincoln man, George Carleton, publisher and author of this "sensational" book, lays out in the most lurid detail the "suppressed" and horrible facts about the buying, selling and exploitation of human beings.
