Captain Canot - or, Twenty Years of an African Slaver

"the story is a fascinating first person account, well written and much better than expected. Particularly good as a primary source. A very interesting look at the African end of the slave trade- he lived and worked with the African chieftans who captured the slaves for sale, in addition to running a slave ship. His adventure of being captured by pirates was a surprise."

It's free in the Kindle version

How do we know this slave was genuinely on the last slave ship ....

The Clotilda saga is rife with second guessing

Good point
