That is a remarkable quote by Douglass.

After an alert from PP I added his 1855 autobiography to my shopping cart but before I ordered it I had a "D'OH" moment. An autobiography published in 1855 will not include events after that. That is, there will be no 160-year-old bits to include in this series. Anybody know of a later Frederick Douglass bio or autobio that will cover 1855-65? I found one recent book at Amazon but the reviews were tepid.

Well, here’s the one he wrote after the great events of the war:

Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (A Will To Be Free) is Frederick Douglass’ third autobiography, published in 1881, revised in 1892.

Originally published: 1881
Author: Frederick Douglass
