American Slave Trade by Jesse Torrey is an account of the manner in which the Slave Dealers take free people from some of the United States of America; and carry them away; and sell them as Slaves in other of the States; and of the horrible cruelties practiced in the carrying on of this most infamous Traffic. It includes reflections on the Project for forming a Colony of American Blacks in Africa; and certain Documents respecting that project. "The author speaks of the Middle States; and the Southern States. He speaks of Maryland; of Delaware; and; then again; of Georgia; Carolina; Mississippi; but the English reader ought to be told; and have pretty clearly explained to him; how these several Countries lie with regard to each other; and; that he may judge of the magnitude of the evil; he ought to be informed over how large a part of the whole of the United States Slavery does actually extend."

Great readBy David MarshallFabulous book by the leading expert on the 6th Wisconsin and the Iron Brigade.10 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Great book; if you can find itBy Mitch ReedI must have passed this book by many times. When I finally got a copy (back in '91); I was so glad I did. This book focuses on Archers' attack during the opening stages of the battle. The author vividly describes the skirmish that takes place; as well as the impact it had on that day (July 1) and the rest of the battle. While Martin's book "July 1 1863" covers this action as well; here in this book a full up review is done. It compare it to Pfanz's detail and Ambrose's readabillity. What ever the avid Gettysburg reader must do to find this book they must.
