In 1845, seven years after fleeing bondage in Maryland, Frederick Douglass was already a celebrated lecturer across the northern US. The recent publication of his memoir had incited threats to his life, however, and to place himself out of harm's way he embarked on a lecture tour of the British Isles. In the first major narrative account of a transformational episode in the life of this extraordinary American, Tom Chaffin chronicles Douglass's 1845-47 lecture tour of Ireland, Scotland, and England.
