Very good in Good jacket. xxxv, [3], 386 pages. Frontis illustration. List of Illustrations. Illustrations. Index. Sticker inside rear cover. Introduction by Capt. Ernest H. Pentecost, R. N. R. DJ has slight soiling but a tear at the top edge back. This is reprint of publication number fifteen on the Marine Research Society. George Francis Dow (January 7, 1868-June 5, 1936) was an American antiquarian for the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. Dow was instrumental in the creation of the Pioneer Village for the 300th anniversary of the founding of Salem, Massachusetts. Joseph Everett Chandler, an architect, and George Francis Dow conceived Pioneer Village as a means to demonstrate life in 1630. They created one of America's first living history museums which the city of Salem committed to preserve in perpetuity. The long, grim story of the slave trade is a tragic historical narrative. This darkest and most heartless era in African-American history saw millions of Africans kidnapped and sold into bondage in the West Indies, the American colonies, and later, the United States. This history is recalled firsthand in this extraordinary shocking collection of commentaries by ships' doctors and captains as well as written testimonies for a parliamentary committee investigating the slave trade. Accounts vary from sympathetic to indifferent as the narrators relate horrifying events and conditions of extreme cruelty. Detailed descriptions of suppressed mutinies on slave ships and life in "factories"-penned areas that held slaves until they were put aboard ships-are followed by vivid accounts of living conditions on the vessels, and commentary on the commercial structure of the slave trade. A basic sourcebook for students of African-American history, it is essential reading for those interested in the origin of social ills and inequities.
