The Life of William Grimes offers an eye-opening account of a life during and after slavery, written by a man who experienced and witnessed the worst.

Unlike other slave memoirs, The Life of William Grimes has not been sanitized or otherwise edited for the benefit of what, at the time, was a mostly white readership. The tone set by Grimes in his recollections is one of bitter resentment and indignation at an experience which was demeaning, physically and mentally torturing, and an insult to his very humanity.

Intelligent and perceptive, it was only through luck and trusting his own wits that William was able to escape his enslavement. The son of a white plantation owner and a black mother who worked as his father's slave, Grimes variously worked around the plantation grounds as a coach driver, stable boy, and in the fields.

It's a perfect shoe rack for a small apartment!
The quality is good, and the shelf looks perfect. It also fits exactly how it should in my studio apartment! A maintenance guy has put it all together and up within 45 min! I'm very happy.

Exactly what I need for the RHIT exam
I have this book in electronic form from one of my college classes but it was always a nightmare to access! Even with lifetime access to it, I can no longer access it since class is over! After spending over $100 on the virtual version I didn’t want to spend too much on the paper version also, so this was perfect. Near perfect condition. Arrived very quickly. Great price. Plus- the person before me included some helpful (yet faint) answers for me!! Thanks for having this book available at an affordable price!
