Your post is very encouraging! Mainly, because I greatly appreciate those who take the time to go out and secure the facts independently that way you can speak to these things directly and not just “I heard that thing from that person that time”. This is important.
Secondarily, you and I converged in however way. The end result was the same book by Owens. See this for what I did with it:
New audiobook release: “The Wrong of Slavery”, by Robert Dale Owen
