(The following is a partial account of this escaped slave read by the fictional character Jeremy to his class. It is from the actual unedited story of John Andrew Jackson provided through the courtesy of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as part of its project, "Documenting the American South." Call number E445 .S7 J32 (Wilson Annex, UNC-CH). The electronic edition is a part of the UNC-CH digitization project. Jackson's Book is entitled, The Experience of a Slave in South Carolina.
The first written accounts apparently began to circulate in abolitionist literature in the 1850s in Maine and in Boston before being published as a book in England to where Jackson had escaped. It was later printed in book form in London by Passmore & Alabaster, Wilson Street, Finsbury. 1862. Entered at Stationer's Hall.)
