Narrative of Frederick Douglas...

   I have encountered this book before and every time I read it, I find it hard to digest.  The account of this story is so chillingly cold and calm.  However it is an amazing piece of literature and I forced myself to read it in its entirety.  I remain impressed with Douglass' command over a language he was denied is captivating.  The prose and and delivery of his thoughts to paper is unparralled, even by todays standards.
