Large Print
Frederick Douglass, a former slave, spent four months in Ireland in 1845, filling halls with eloquent denunciations of slavery and causing controversy with graphic descriptions of slaves being tortured. He also shared a stage with Daniel O'Connell. This account of his celebrated escaped slave's tour of Ireland combines a unique insight into the formative years of one of the great figures of 19th-century America with a vivid portrait of a country on the brink of famine.
