Additional Details

second edition of Stroyer''s "Sketches." Jacob Stroyer (1846-1908) was born a slave in a small town near Columbia, South Carolina. His father, who was brought from Africa, is an important figure in Stroyer''s story, to whom he turns again and again for council and advice. The most unusual aspect of this "slave narrative" is the fact that Stroyer remained a slave until emancipated by Lincoln. As a result, there is more detail of life on the plantation and the cruelties of that life.
